Meiolaniidae is an extinct family of large, probably herbivorous stem-group turtles with heavily armored heads and tails known from South America and Australasia. Though once believed to be cryptodires, they are not closely related to any living species of turtle, and lie outside crown group Testudines, having diverged from them around the Middle Jurassic. They are best known from the last surviving genus, Meiolania, which lived in the rain forests of Australia from the Miocene until the Pleistocene, and insular species that lived on Lord Howe Island and New Caledonia during the Pleistocene and possibly the Holocene for the latter. Meiolaniids are part of the broader grouping of Meiolaniformes, which contains more primitive turtles species lacking the distinctive morphology of meiolaniids,

  • Los meiolánidos (Meiolaniidae) son una familia extinta de grandes tortugas, posiblemente herbívoras, con la cabeza y la cola fuertemente acorazadas. El género más conocido es Meiolania, que vivió en las selvas tropicales de Australia, del Oligoceno hasta el Holoceno. Inicialmente se pensaba que la familia era originaria de Australia; sin embargo, debido al descubrimiento de meiolaniformes sudamericanos, como del Eoceno y del Cretácico Superior de Argentina (de la misma edad que ), se cree que la familia apareció antes de la división de Gondwana, durante el Cretáceo medio.

  • Meiolaniidae zijn een uitgestorven familie van landbewonende schildpadden uit Zuid-Amerika en Oceanië. Enkele soorten konden tot 2,5 meter lang worden, wat ongebruikelijk is voor schildpadden die niet in zee leven. Deze familie verscheen in het Laat-Krijt en leefde tot in het Holoceen. (nl)
  • Меиоланииды (лат. Meiolaniidae) — семейство вымерших пресмыкающихся из клады тестудинат, живших с эоцена по голоцен (48,6—0,002 млн лет назад). Растительноядные животные. (ru)
  • Міоланії (Meiolaniidae) — вимерла родина черепах підряду Прихованошийні черепахи. Мала 5 родів та 8 видів. Спочатку вважалося, що вони виникли в олігоцені, проте згодом з'ясувалася, що ці черепахи беруть початок свого існування з крейдового періоду. (uk)

  • Meiolaniidae é uma família de tartarugas pertencentes à subordem Cryptodira. Atualmente não existe nenhum exemplar vivo, visto que se extinguiram já no Pleistoceno. Os Meiolaniidae eram animais herbívoros que habitavam as selvas tropicais da Austrália, no Oligoceno da era Cenozoica (entre 36 milhões de anos e 23 milhões de anos atrás). O género mais conhecido desta família é o Meiolania. (pt)
