Pangshura tatrotia

Osteichthyes - Testudines - Geoemydidae

Taxonomy
Pangshura tatrotia was named by Joyce and Lyson (2010) [Pangshura tatrotia is a testudinoid turtle diagnosed by the following combination of characters: tectiform carapace, posterior constriction of third vertebral, anterior constriction of the first vertebral, pleural I/II sulcus with long anteromedial process, vertebral IV with anteromedial projection, contact of marginal X with vertebral V, wavy pleural/marginal sulcus pattern.]. It is not extant. Its type specimen is YPM 4127, a set of postcrania (an all but complete shell that documents nearly all portions of the carapace and plastron). Its type locality is Pangshura tatrotia-type locality, which is in a Pliocene terrestrial horizon in the Tatrot Formation of Pakistan.
