Itapecuruemys ("Itapecuru turtle") is an extinctgenus ofbothremydidpleurodiran turtle that was discovered in theItapecuru Formation of Brazil.[1] It is a monotypic genus, with onlytype speciesItapecuruemys amazoniensis known.[1]

Etymology

[edit]

The genus was named for theItapecuru Formation of Brazil, the locality from which the remains ofItapecuruemys were recovered.[1] The specific epithet is named after theLegal Amazon region, where it was found.[1]

Description

[edit]

The carapace ofItapecuruemys amazoniensis is broad and low. The lateral margins converge posteriorly, with the widest point level with the fourth rib. Most of the carapace is unknown, consisting of one nuchal and several suprapygal plates, as well as seven neural plates and sixteen ribs. The first neural vertebra is similar to that ofKurmademys. The second to fifth neurals more closely resembleFoxemys. The nuchal plate is preserved only by a fragment of the anterior-most portion.[1] Scute preservation forItapecuruemys is poor, with only the second and third vertebral scutes and second, third and fourth pleurals being recognizable.
