Late Miocene Turtles of Grytsiv (western Ukraine) with Rodent Gnaw Marks on the Carapace Surface
The paper describes a series of turtle remains from the Early Late Miocene of Grytsiv (Khmelnytskyi Oblast, Ukraine). This fossil assemblage was quite diverse and included representatives of four families (Emydidae, Geoemydidae, Testudinidae, and Trionychidae), most of which are described only to th...

The paper describes a series of turtle remains from the Early Late Miocene of Grytsiv (Khmelnytskyi Oblast, Ukraine).

The discovery of shell fragments, identified here as Testudo chernovi, is the earliest record of this species on the territory of Ukraine.
