Fossil records of sea turtles from Cretaceous are found mainly in the clade Pan- Chelonioidea, but it also refers to a few species without a definitive phylogenetic relationship, currently considered Eucryptodira Indeterminate. The oldest record of Pan-Chelonioidea dates from the Aptian (Early Cretaceous) from Germany, which challenges the current hypothesis of the American origin for Americhelydia (Pan- Chelonioidea+ Chelydroidea) during the Campanian (Late Cretaceous). The records of Cretaceous marine turtles from the Old Word are scarce, but the distribution of stem Chelonioidea in North America were very abundant, following the coast of the Western Interior Seaway from Canada to south USA. All species of Pan-Chelonioidea from Cretaceous...
