| Partial skeleton, probably, of one individual consisting of the following specimens: NMNHU-P without number (formerly IZU; hereinafter NMNHU-P), nuchal, right periph- eral 1, carapace fragment, including neurals 3, 4, and a small fragment of neural 5, right and left costals 3 and 4, fragment of right hyoplastron, cervical ver- tebra V, metatarsal I, four phalanges; ZIN PH 2/36, premaxillae with anterior portions of both maxillae; ZIN PH 3/36 + 4/36, dentary symphysis (primar- ily was in two pieces; see Averianov 2002); ZIN PH 5/36, anterior part of the right ceratobranchiale I; ZIN PH 8/36, part of the skeleton, including the posterior part of the skull and lower jaw, and remains of the carapace, including ribheads and bases of neu- rals (neural arches) in matrix (gray-blue marl with pyrite), and imprints of the nuchal (with a thin layer of bone in the left part), three neurals and three pairs of costals, as well as a part of the internal surface of the right postorbital; ZIN PH 9/36, anterior portion of the right jugal; ZIN PH 10/36, right surangular; and ZIN PH 11/36, anterior part of the left cerato- branchiale I.

| Collectors: | A. S. Rogovich |
| Collection method comments: ZIN PH
Probably, after Rogovich’s death his collection was divided into several parts and transferred to dif- ferent institutions of Moscow, Saint Petersburg, and Kiev (Fig. 2). In Moscow, Rogovich’s collection first appeared in the Geological Room (Cabinet) of the Imperial Moscow University (GR; Pavlova 1910; mammals), later A.P. and M.V. Pavlovs Geological- Paleontological Museum, primarily within the Moscow Geological Prospecting Institute (MGRI; 1930–1987), and now within the Vernadsky State Geological Museum (SGM; for detailed history of SGM see Bessudnova 2006). In the unknown period, one turtle specimen from Rogovich’s collection (ZIN PH 8/36) was transferred from MGRI to ZIN, as is documented by a label written by L.I. Khosatzky, which is accompanying the specimen (Fig. 1E). Some fishes from the Rogovich’s collection are stored in SGM (Nessov 1992), although Bannikov (2010) not- ed that their storage is unknown. In 2017, one of us (IGD) during a visit to SGM managed to find two pe- ripheral plates of a pancheloniid sea turtle in one box with Rogovich’s material of fishes and mollusks from the Zaitsev’s brickworks of Kiev (these specimens are not included in the description). The presence of Rogovich’s mammals in SGM needs verification | |
