Centrochelys atlantica is an extinct species of tortoise that lived in the Pleistocene. It was first recorded in the volcanic crater on Sal, Cape Verde. It was initially identified as similar to the extant Testudo calcarata (= Centrochelys sulcata). The species is no longer present anywhere in the Cape Verde islands. It has since been described as a new species, differentiated from C. sulcata by its smaller size and lesser robusticity. It does not seem there is any evidence this species came into contact with humans. Kehlmaier et al. (2021) identified the type material of this species as belonging to a specimen of the red-footed tortoise, making C. atlantica a junior synonym of the latter species and leaving the extinct tortoise known from fossils excavated on the Sal Island in the 1930s w

  • Centrochelys atlantica is an extinct species of tortoise that lived in the Pleistocene. It was first recorded in the volcanic crater on Sal, Cape Verde. It was initially identified as similar to the extant Testudo calcarata (= Centrochelys sulcata). The species is no longer present anywhere in the Cape Verde islands. It has since been described as a new species, differentiated from C. sulcata by its smaller size and lesser robusticity. It does not seem there is any evidence this species came into contact with humans. Kehlmaier et al. (2021) identified the type material of this species as belonging to a specimen of the red-footed tortoise, making C. atlantica a junior synonym of the latter species and leaving the extinct tortoise known from fossils excavated on the Sal Island in the 1930s without a scientific name.

  • La tortuga de Sal (Centrochelys atlantica​) es una especie extinta de tortuga de la familia Testudinidae. Esta tortuga vivió durante el Pleistoceno en la Isla de Sal (Cabo Verde),​ extinguiéndose antes de la llegada de seres humanos al archipiélago (no existe evidencia de contacto con tortugas en las primeras expediciones portuguesas a las islas).​ Los restos de esta especie fueron descubiertos en el cráter de Pedra de Lume en 1932 e identificados inicialmente como Testudo calcarata (=Centrochelys sulcata), la tortuga de espolones africana. En 1998 se asignaron estos fósiles a una nueva especie. (es)
  • Centrochelys atlantica é uma extinta espécie de tartaruga que viveu no Pleistoceno. Foi registrado pela primeira vez na cratera vulcânica em Sal, Cabo Verde. Foi inicialmente identificado como semelhante ao existente Testudo calcarata (=Centrochelys sulcata). A espécie já não está presente em nenhuma parte das ilhas de Cabo Verde. Desde então, foi descrita como uma nova espécie, diferenciada de C. sulcata pelo seu tamanho menor e menor robustez. Não parece haver nenhuma evidência de que essa espécie tenha entrado em contato com humanos. (pt)
  • Centrochelys atlantica — вымерший вид сухопутных черепах рода Centrochelys. Впервые его ископаемые остатки найдены в кратере вулкана на острове Сал, Кабо-Верде. Вид существовал в эпоху плейстоцена. Первоначально он был идентифицирован как похожий на ныне живущую шпороносную черепаху (Centrochelys sulcata). Этот вид известен только с острова Сал. С тех пор он был описан как новый вид, отличающийся от шпороносной черепахи меньшим размером и меньшей массивностью. Кажется, нет никаких доказательств того, что этот вид вступал в контакт с людьми.
