Radiocarbon dating of the specimen YPM 40001 at the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History, previously referred to the Pleistocene horse Equus cf. niobrarensis, determined that the specimenis less...
Phylogenetic Relationships of Mesozoic Turtles (2007)
Presented herein is the first morphological analysis of turtle relationships to examine the monophyly of many turtle groups by using only single species as terminals and by integrating a large number...

Walter G. Joyce, Nicole Klein, Thomas Mörs
We identify a fragmentary turtle specimen from the middle Miocene (MN 5) of Hambach, Germany, as the bridge peripheral of a carettochelyine turtle. This important find extends the fossil record of...
Palaeoecology of triassic stem turtles sheds new light on turtle origins.
Joyce, Walter G., Gauthier, Jacques A.
Competing hypotheses of early turtle evolution contrast sharply in implying very different ecological settings-aquatic versus terrestrial-for the origin of turtles. We investigate the palaeoecology...
