''Denazinemys'' was a genus of baenodd turtle that lived in the Late Cretaceous of New Mexico. The holotype specimen, which ''D. nodosa'' was based on, USNM 8345, consists of a partial carapace and plastron. It came from the De-na-zin Member of the Kirtland Formation, and therefore, ''Denazinemys'' lived in the Kirtlandian land-vertebrate age. Many specimens other than the holotype have been assigned to ''Denazinemys''.〔 ==Distinguishing characteristics== Previously, ''Scabremys ornata'' was assigned to ''Denazinemys'' as ''D. ornata''. Below are the features found in ''Denazinemys'' distinguishing the two genera:〔 * a carapace that is sub-triangular with widest dimension posteriorly; * prepleurals present and touching the first vertebrae medially; * the first vertebrae an irregular hexagonal shape with the greatest width posteriorly, contacting anterior second vertebrae; * extracervicals lateral to the primary cervicals, the cervicals being sub-divided; * and carapace nodes irregular and not forming distinct ridges. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Denazinemys」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
