Sinaspideretes is an extinct genusofturtle from the Late JurassicofChina, probably from the Shaximiao Formation. It is considered the earliest and most basal representative of the Trionychia,^[1]^[2] and is possibly the oldest known member of Cryptodira.^[3] In 2013, it was proposed that this animal and the genus Yehguia are in fact one and the same.^[4]
