The fossil record of reptiles from the Paleogene of Antarctica is very scarce. Only postcranial fragments of Dermochelyidae turtles have been recovered from several localities on Isla Marambio (Seymour Island, fig. 1 in de la Fuente et al. 1995, Albright et al. 2003). These authors provisionally assigned this specimen to ‘‘Psephophorus’’ terrypratchetti Ko¨hler, a species from upper Lutetian of South Island, New Zealand. In this contribution we describe two turtle carapace plates recently recovered from the middle levels (Cucullaea I Allomember) of the La Meseta Formation, Isla Marambio (Marenssi 2006). This material represents the first record of a turtle with a bony carapace from the Eocene of Antarctica, and it increases the diversity of the group on this continent. of the La Meseta Formation, Isla Marambio (Marenssi 2006).
