Stylemys (meaning "pillar turtle") is the first fossil genus of dry land tortoise belonging to the order Testudines discovered in the United States. The genus lived in temperate to subtropical areas of North America, Europe, and Asia, based on fossil distribution. The genus was first described in 1851 by Joseph Leidy. The tortoise was common in the prehistoric Badlands, especially Nebraska and South Dakota. The species has also been found in the formations in and around Badlands National Park. Fossil fragments have also been found in the Palm Park Formation of New Mexico.

  • Stylemys (meaning "pillar turtle") is the first fossil genus of dry land tortoise belonging to the order Testudines discovered in the United States. The genus lived in temperate to subtropical areas of North America, Europe, and Asia, based on fossil distribution. The genus was first described in 1851 by Joseph Leidy. The tortoise was common in the prehistoric Badlands, especially Nebraska and South Dakota. The species has also been found in the formations in and around Badlands National Park. Fossil fragments have also been found in the Palm Park Formation of New Mexico. The ancient tortoises had primitive jaw muscles, unlike today's tortoises, which also display the bone, and would have been herbivorous. While Stylemys species did exhibit the same neck structure as modern tortoises, the forelimbs were unsuitable for burrowing, setting them apart from modern genera. (en)
  • Stylemys is het eerste fossiele geslacht van landschildpadden, die behoren tot de orde Testudines, die in de Verenigde Staten is ontdekt. Het geslacht leefde in gematigde tot subtropische gebieden van Noord-Amerika, Europa en Azië, gebaseerd op fossiele verspreiding. Het geslacht werd voor het eerst beschreven in 1851 door Joseph Leidy. De schildpad was gebruikelijk in de prehistorische Badlands, vooral Nebraska en South Dakota. De soort is ook gevonden in de formaties in en rond Badlands National Park. De oude schildpadden hadden primitieve kaakspieren, in tegenstelling tot de hedendaagse schildpadden, die ook het os transiliens-bot vertonen, en zou herbivoor zijn geweest. Hoewel Stylemys-soorten dezelfde nekstructuur vertoonden als moderne schildpadden, waren de voorpoten niet geschikt om te graven, waardoor ze zich onderscheiden van moderne geslachten. (nl)
  • Stylemys (que significa "tartaruga pilar") é o primeiro gênero fóssil de tartaruga de terra seca pertencente à ordem Testudines descoberto nos Estados Unidos. O gênero viveu em áreas temperadas a subtropicais da América do Norte, Europa e Ásia, com base na distribuição de fósseis. O gênero foi descrito pela primeira vez em 1851 por Joseph Leidy. A tartaruga era comum na pré-histórica Badlands, especialmente Nebraska e South Dakota. A espécie também foi encontrada nas formações dentro e ao redor do . Fragmentos de fósseis também foram encontrados na de Novo México. As tartarugas antigas tinham músculos primitivos mandíbula, ao contrário das tartarugas de hoje, que também exibem o osso e teriam sido herbívoros. Embora as espécies Stylemys exibissem a mesma estrutura de pescoço das tartarugas modernas, os membros anteriores eram inadequados para escavação, diferenciando-os dos gêneros modernos. (pt)
