Taxonomic remark From Gaffney et al., 2006: This partial skull from the Late Cretaceous of Egypt was described and figured by Stromer (1934: plate 1, fig. 1a–c) but was apparently later destroyed in World War II (Crumly, 1984) with much of the Munich collection. The figures show a turtle skull, which Antunes and Broin (1988), Broin (1988), Lapparent de Broin and Werner (1998), and Lapparent de Broin (2000a) assigned to the Bothremydidae. ... The only apparent feature of the skull from the figures is a fully enclosed incisura columellae auris, consistent with the Bothremydidae, but also found in other groups. [details]
