Abstract
From the beginning of his explorations of the Rexroad formation for vertebrate fossils, Dr. Claude W. Hibbard noted the presence of a very large tortoise in the fauna. For some years only fragments of the shell were found, chiefly from Rexroad localities (Nos, 2, 2a, 3, UM-K1-47), in Meade County (Hibbard 1950). In the summer of 1940 the plastron and fragments of the carapace of a large tortoise were collected by the field party of the University of Kansas Museum of Natural History at the type locality of the Rexroad formation south of locality No. 3. This specimen, No. 9399, remained unstudied at the University of Kansas Museum of Natural History until further material could be obtained.
