Testudo sp. Linnaeus 1758 turtle Remains of Testudo sp. (Testudinidae) from Shko- dova Gora were mentioned without data on the mate- rial; its depository is not known; therefore, their pres- ence in the assemblage of the locality requires confir- mation. Since some specimens from Neogene localities of Eastern Europe originally referred to the genus Testudo turned out to belong to Chelydropsis (see Joyce, 2016), it is not improbable that Testudo sp. from Shkodova Gora actually belongs to the latter genus
