Basic morphological data of native Czech Emys orbicularis revealed by subfossil finds.
Original language description
Holocene Czech Emys orbicularis are rare in museum collections because the species disappeared from this region centuries ago. Fifteen reconstructed shells of subfossil Czech specimens of E. orbicularis (ranging in age from 3800-3500 BC to 1300 AD) fromarchaeological sites were used to assess basic morphological data. Our results provide evidence that the extinct Czech turtles fall into the size range of extant Central European E. orbicularis populations from the Hungarian Lowland. Maximum male and female straight-line carapacial lengths of the Czech specimens reached at least 160 and 175 mm, respectively.
