Abstract

A new soft-shelled turtle species (Trionychidae), Gobiapalone palaeocenica sp. nov. is described based on an incomplete articulated juvenile skeleton from an unnamed Upper Paleocene locality in the Bugin Tsav Basin of Mongolia. This is the first reliable trionychid record in the Paleocene of Asia.
