Euclastes extinct genus of sea turtles that survived the Cretaceous–Paleogene mass extinction . The genus was first named by Edward Drinker Cope in 1867, and contains three species. E. hutchisoni , was named in 2003 but has since been reassigned to the genus Pacifichelys [3] E. coahuilaensis named in 2009 was reassigned as Mexichelys coahuilaensis [4] [5]
Description
[ edit ] E. platyops skull
Unlike the sea turtles Toxochelys Eochelone Euclastes has a secondary palate . However, the secondary palate of Euclastes is not as extensive as it is in Ctenochelys Angolachelys [6] dentary bone with an elongated symphysis ; and low tomial ridge on the beak. The widened palate and dentaries give Eochelone wide, flat jaws suitable for crushing hard-shelled organisms.[3]
