Gamerabaena is an extinct genus of baenid turtle which existed in North Dakota during the late Cretaceous Period. It is known from a single fragmentary skull that was found in the Maastrichtian-age Hell Creek Formation. It contains the species Gamerabaena sonsalla. Gamerabaena is similar to the genus Palatobaena, but it differs in its lack of a posterior expansion of the triturating (or chewing) surface, a somewhat rectangular skull, and a wide angle between the maxillae. Gamerabaena also has a lingual ridge on the inner side of the jaw that is not seen in Palatobaena.

| - Gamerabaena je rodem dávno vyhynulé svrchnokřídové želvy ze souvrství Hell Creek. Fosílie tohoto rodu byly objeveny na jihozápadě Severní Dakoty v USA. Její stáří činí asi 70 až 66 milionů let, žila tedy na samotném konci druhohorního období (podobně jako třeba známí neptačí dinosauři rodu Tyrannosaurus nebo Triceratops). Jediným dnes známým druhem tohoto rodu želvy je G. sonsalla, popsaná v roce 2010. Zástupci této skupiny patrně dokázali přečkat katastrofu na konci křídy a přežít do raného paleocénu. (cs)

Gamerabaena is similar to the genus Palatobaena, but it differs in its lack of a posterior expansion of the triturating (or chewing) surface, a somewhat rectangular skull, and a wide angle between the maxillae. Gamerabaena also has a lingual ridge on the inner side of the jaw that is not seen in Palatobaena. Gamerabaena is considered the sister taxon of Palatobaena and shares features with both Palatobaena and Plesiobaena. These features, which include slightly upturned eye sockets, are seen as intermediate between the two other genera. While Gamerabaena is known only from the skull, it may belong to the same species as "Baena" hayi, which is known primarily from the shell. The genus is named after Gamera, a giant flying, fire-breathing turtle from a series of Japanese tokusatsu films. (en)
