Remarks — Most of the emydid material could only be identified 

 to the familial level. Species level identification is difficult and requires 

 nearly complete elements. Almost all the material was well mineralized. 

 We are confident that the majority represents Pleistocene deposition 

 as opposed to Recent. 



Pseudemys concinna (LeConte) 

 River Cooter 

 Material— Left peripheral 3, UGAMNH1882; left peripheral 4, 

 UGAMNH1885; right peripheral 7, UGAMNH1884; right peripheral 

 11, UGAMNH1883. 



Remarks — Pseudemys concinna is distinguished by its distinctive 

 carapace. It is most common in slow streams and rivers (Conant 

 1975). 



Pseudemys floridana (LeConte) 

 Cooter 

 Material— Left peripheral 3, UGAMNH2030; left pleural 3, 

 UGAMNH2031; left pleural 4, UGAMNH2033; nuchal, UGAMNH2032. 

 Remarks — The species is most commonly associated with 

 permanent bodies of freshwater including swamps and rivers (Conant 

 1975).

 hypoplastron inguinal notch, UGAMNH1908, 1943; left hypoplastron 

 inguinal notch, UGAMNH1897, 1905; neural 7, UGAMNH1901; 

 neural, UGAMNH1887; nuchal, UGAMNH1914, 1953; right peripheral
