Ctenochelys (meaning "comb tortoise") is an extinct genus of marine turtle ( Cryptodira , Pancheloniidae ), which existed during the Cretaceous period, and lived in the shallow waters of the Western Interior Seaway . [1] Its fossils have been found in the Ripley Formation and Mooreville Chalk of central Alabama , United States. [2] It was first named by C. H. Sternberg in 1904, [3] and contains two species, C. stenoporus [4] and C. acris . [5]

Ctenochelys stenoporus skeletons

Ctenochelys stenoporus is the type species . It was originally thought to be a species of Toxochelys ; T. bauri , until Sternberg declared it a separate genus. [3] The two genera are similar in carapaces . [1]

Ctenochelys acris was first named by Zangerl in 1953 and is now thought to be one of the earliest ancestors of modern cheloniids . [6]
