	ETI - Turtles of the World: Turtle anatomy
		Paired humerals, pectorals, abdominals, femorals, and anals follow, respectively, and in the Cheloniidae an interanal is sometimes present.
		At the posterior edge of each axillary notch there may be an axillary scute, and at the front edge of each inguinal notch there may be an inguinal scute.
		Inframarginals, a series of small scutes lying between the carapacial marginals and the sides of the adjacent plastral scutes, are present in the families Cheloniidae, Chelydridae, Dermatemydidae, and Platysternidae.

		There was a reduction in the bony shell, presumably to save on weight and possible because of the absence of enemies.
		Archelon of the cretaceous period (3.6 metre shell) was very similar to the modern Cheloniidae.
		The fossil history of the chelonia before the triassic period is not all that clear: there is little real evidence to tell us how, when and why one early reptilian group shortened their bodies and covered them with armour for protection.

		The enormous Leatherback - the largest living turtle - lives in the open oceans.

		Family: 13 families, including Cheloniidae (sea turtles), Emydidae (pond and river turtles), and Testudinidae (tortoises)
		Sea turtles (Cheloniidae family) are especially adapted for an aquatic life, with long feet that form flippers and a streamlined body shape.
		They rarely leave the ocean, except when the females come ashore to lay their eggs.

	Testudines
		Some of the best characters for this family are skeletal or best observed in life (side-necked turtles, as their name implies, pull their heads in to the side rather than retracting them straight in as cryptodirans do), but the matamata is rather distinctive and you should have no trouble learning to recognize it.
		Family Cheloniidae (Sea turtles): This family includes all the sea turtles except the Leatherback.
		Among cryptodirans, families which lay spherical eggs include Trionychidae, Chelydridae, and Cheloniidae.
