Abstract: The osteology, neuroanatomy, and musculature are known for most primary clades of turtles (i.e., “families”), but knowledge is still lacking for one particular clade, the Carettochelyidae. Carettochelyids are represented by only one living taxon, the pig‐nosed turtle Carettochelys insculpta. Here, we use micro‐computed tomography of osteological and contrast‐enhanced stained specimens to describe the cranial osteology, neuroanatomy, circulatory system, and jaw musculature of Carettochelys insculpta. The jaw‐re… Show more
