Bothremydidae is an extinct family of side-necked turtles (Pleurodira) known from the Cretaceous and Cenozoic. They are closely related to Podocnemididae, and are amongst the most widely distributed pleurodire groups, with their fossils having been found in Africa, India, the Middle East, Europe, North America and South America. Bothremydids were aquatic turtles with a high morphological diversity, indicative of generalist, molluscivorous, and piscivorous diets. Unlike modern pleurodires, which are exclusively freshwater, bothremydids inhabited freshwater, marine and coastal settings. Their marine habits allowed bothremydids to disperse across oceanic barriers into Europe and North America during the early Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian). The youngest records of the group are indeterminate re

  • البوثريميات (Bothremydidae) هي فصيلة منقرضة من السلاحف جانبية الرقبة، ومثل معظم أقاربها الحديثة كانت غالبًا تعيش في المياه العذبة، ولكن عدة أنواع منها كانت زواحف بحرية. وهي ليست مرتبطة بالسلاحف البحرية الحديثة، كانت سلاحف قارتة نشطة متنقلة، وقد انقرضت في عصر الإيوسين. (ar)
  • Les Bothremydidae forment une famille éteinte de tortues appartenant au sous-ordre des Pleurodira et à l'ordre des Testudines. Les pleurodires (Pleurodira) sont caractérisés par leur manière de tourner leur cou pour rentrer la tête dans leur carapace : ils doivent plier leur cou sur le côté, formant ainsi un S horizontal. Cette famille a disparu à l'Oligocène ou au Miocène. Les Bothremydidae vivaient en général en eau douce, mais plusieurs espèces étaient marines, sans avoir de rapport avec les tortues de mer actuelles. (fr)
  • Los botremídidos (Bothremydidae) son una familia extinta de tortugas que esconden su cuello lateralmente. Estas pertenecen al suborden Pleurodira y al orden Testudines. Las botremídidas vivieron en ecosistemas de agua dulce y eran anfibias. Eran al parecer omnívoros activos. (es)
