Abstract

Tasbacka danica n. sp. (Testudines: Cryptodira: Cheloniidae) is described on the basis of a nearly complete juvenile specimen in dorsal view from the Fur formation, Early Eocene of Ejerslev Moclaypit, Jutland, Denmark. Tasbacka salisburgensis (Karl, 1996) is a new combination for an Austrian species. The discovery of Tasbacka in Denmark and the Austrian material suggests a wider geographic distribution of this genus during the PaleoceneEocene boundary.
