A new specimen of the pan-cheloniid turtle Euclastes is described which demonstrates that another pan-Cheloniid he named in 1870, Catapleura, is actually the same taxon, and Euclaste wielandi was found to be the most basal species of the genus.

This work converts the vast majority of previously defined clade names for extinct and extant turtles into this new nomenclatural framework, and establishes 113 clade Names, of which 79 had already received phylogenetic definitions and 34 are new.

A new genus and species of marine turtle is described from the Upper Campanian Demopolis Chalk of Alabama and Mississippi, USA represented by three partial shells andPhylogenetic analysis shows that A. parhami belongs to the ctenochelyids, an extinct group that shares characteristics with both pan-chelonioids and pan-cheloniids.

A phylogeny of turtles with increased chelonioid taxon sampling and revised postcranial characters is provided, recovering protostegids as stem-chelonioids, which imply a mid Early Cretaceous origin of total-group chelonIOids and an early Late Cret Jurassic age for crown-chelanioids.
A new phylogenetic hypothesis of turtles with implications for the timing and number of evolutionary transitions to marine lifestyles in the group

A new phylogenetic hypothesis informed by high resolution computed tomographic data of living and fossil taxa is presented, indicating three independent evolutionary transitions to marine life in non‐pleurodiran turtles (plus an additional two‐three in pleurodires).
