Nanhsiungchelyid Turtles from the Nanxiong Basin, Southern China, and the Cretaceous–Paleogene Mass Extinction
Nanxiong Basin (Guangdong Province, southern China) preserves one of the most complete nanhsiungchelyid turtle records from the latest Cretaceous in Asia. In this study, we review nanhsiungchelyid remains recorded from Nanxiong Basin within a refined stratigraphical framework. Nanhsiungchelyids show constant occurrence in the Nanxiong Basin, recorded from most formations of the Nanxiong Group, with their probable last occurrence close to the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary.
