Extinct genus of turtles
Kurmademys is an extinct genus of side-necked turtle which existed in India during the late Cretaceous period.[1] It was first named in 2001, by Eugene S. Gaffney, Sankar Chatterjee, and Dhiraj K. Rudra, and contains the species Kurmademys kallamedensis.[1] The species name is derived from the Kallamedu Formation of southern India, where the type specimen of the genus was discovered.[1] It was assigned to the family Bothremydidae.[1]
