Summary: "Pliocene and Pleistocene Records of Fossil Turtles from Western Kansas and Oklahoma" by Edwin C. Galbreath is a scientific publication written in the mid-20th century. This work presents a paleontological study focusing on the fossilized remains of turtle species discovered in Western Kansas and Oklahoma, specifically from the Pliocene and Pleistocene epochs. The book contributes to the understanding of turtle genera that existed during these geological periods, shedding light on their distribution and classification. The text details the examination of various turtle fossils collected from different sites in Kansas and Oklahoma, including fragments belonging to the families Kinosternidae, Emydidae, Testudinidae, Chelydridae, and Trionychidae. Each entry discusses the corresponding fossils’ average characteristics, associated geological ages, and the significance of these specimens in providing new insights into the evolutionary history and environmental adaptations of turtles. By describing findings such as the existence of large and small tortoise lines and unique fossil bone fragments, Galbreath emphasizes the importance of these records in enriching the fossil narrative of the region and advancing the field of vertebrate paleontology.
