Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox

Inaechelys is a potentially dubious genus of bothremydid pleurodiran turtle that was discovered in the Maria Farinha Formation of Brazil. The genus consists solely of type species I. pernambucensis.[1]

Discovery

Inaechelys was discovered in the Poty Cement Quarry, in Paulista, Brazil in 2005, by a team from the Federal University of Pernambuco.[1]

Description

The holotype consists of a carapace, which is fragmented but almost complete. The mesoplastron is not preserved, though its outline is still visible. The anal notch is small, semicircular and wider than it is deep.

Taxonomy

Pedro Romano placed the species in the genus Rosasia in 2016.[2]
