Nanhsiungchelys (IPA: [ˌnɑːnˈɕiʌŋχελiːs]orIPA: [ˌnɑːnˈɕiʌŋtʃɛliːs]) is a trionychoid turtle from the Upper CretaceousofNanhsiung, China.[2] Its genus is derived from the location where it was found, Nanhsiung and the greek word『χελωνα』(chelona), which means turtle. Therefore, Nanhsiungchelys means "turtle from Nanxiong".[2] Nanhsiungchelys has been found in rocks dating to the MaastrichtianofAsia and North America.[3] A second species, N. yangi, was described in 2023 on the basis of a skull, mandible, and anterior portion of the carapace that had been found in the Nanxiong Basin, China.[4]
