A marine turtle of the superfamily [[Eurysternidae]] inside [[Thalassochelydia]]. Is the main formally identified fossil as Turtle from the Sachrang Formation, representing a rather basal genus. The pleurals resemble those of the genus ''[[Plesiochelys]]''.<ref name=TrueTur/> Being found in the zone of Franconia that on the Toarcian was at -80&nbsp;km from the shore can suggest that early marine turtles lived in the epicontinental waters of the European shallow seas before reach richer ecosystem diversity on the Late Jurassic.<ref name=TrueTur/> This would explain the serious lack of Turtle fossils on the formation, as mostly of the deposits are located far from the coast.<ref name=TrueTur/> Possible unclassified testudine remains. Münster (1834) cited: "there were also rare things at the quarries of Altdorf, among other remains there were ones of a turtle on lias limestone"". The remains are not catalogued and some specimens are in Private Collections.<ref name="Turtle">{{cite journal |last1=Joyce |first1=W.
