Resumen:
Here, we report an unusual pattern in the manus and pes morphology of the Tithonian
marine turtle Neusticemys neuquina. We analyse the forelimbs of two previously known
specimens and describe the hind limbs of two previously undescribed specimens. Neusticemys
neuquina is characterized by a relative elongation of both the forelimb and hind
limb, compared with stem Chelonoidea, as well as an elongation of the pedal digit V,
achieved through the elongation of the bones, as well as a moderate hyperphalangy. The
elongation of pedal digit V is the most striking feature of N. neuquina, a feature
unknown in other turtles.
