Testudines indet. (Fig. 4) MATERIAL. — Turkey. Kavakdere: several shell fragments and a limb fragment (EUNMH PV 14088). DESCRIPTION AND COMMENTS The material is too fragmentary to permit any kind of a more precise identification with turtles. This is further complicated by the fact that several turtle groups have been identified from the Oligocene of the area, such as testudinoids, chelydrids, and trionychids(Schleich1994; Georgalis &Joyce 2017). Nevertheless, affinities with the latter group can be readily discarded owing to the absence of the characteristic sculpturing pattern that is present in the shell of that chelonian lineage (Georgalis & Joyce 2017).
