| | ABSTRACT: | An osteopygine toxochelyid turtle from the marine Cretaceous of California is the first Pacific appearance of the family and extends the geographic range of the group beyond previously known North Atlantic, North American "Western Interior Sea", and South American occurrences. The uncertain presence of nasal bones in this genus may require a reassessment of the traditional derivation of the genus Erquelinnesia from Osteopygis.
