The long lost holotype of the Late Jurassic turtle Plesiochelys etalloni

Holotype of the turtle Plesiochelys etalloni

February 6, 2014

The long lost holotype of the Late Jurassic turtle Plesiochelys etalloni

In a story worthy of a detective novel, the original holotype of one the first described plesiochelyid turtles was rediscovered by Anquentin et al. The holotype had been thought lost for more than 150 years, but the history of ownership is now determined (including a sale by one owner to finance the restoration of his church). In this paper, the authors re-describe the specimen & revise its taxonomic status -
