Tacuarembemys ("Tacuarembó turtle") is an extinct genus of continental turtle from South America. It contains a single species,T. kusterae. The genus was described based on the external mold of a carapace and associated shell bone fragments found near the city ofTacuarembó, Uruguay.[1] This fossil was found on theTacuarembó Formation, whose estimated age ranges from late Jurassic to earliest Cretaceous.[2]

It is the first turtle to be discovered in South American continental deposits of that age, and shows a unique combination of traits (shared and derived), who allows the recognition of this fossil as a new genus. Despite that, more remains are needed to clarify its phylogenetic relationships.[1] The estimated length of carapace is 18 cm.

The histology of its plates, a shell that is dorsoventrally low, and the paleoenvironment proposed for theTacuarembó Formation (permanent and temporary streams and lakes[2]), support the ecology of this genus as semiaquatic and mainly aquatic turtles.[1]
