abstract
New turtle specimens from the Upper Cretaceous Chico Formation of California are described. This material includes the left humerus of a juvenile turtle (VRT 46) that can be referred to the Protostegidae. In addition to being an important addition to the Chico Formation sea turtle fauna, VRT 46 is also the oldest turtle from California. The Late Cretaceous turtle fauna of the Pacific was more diverse than previously known as ii now includes representatives of all three major chelonioid clades: Cheloniidac, Dcrmochclyidae, and Protostegidae.
