摘要

克里特岛有一种重要的地方性动物化石，过去曾被广泛研究过。Brinkerink & Symeonidis, 1975年在该岛的更新世洞穴沉积物中发现了一种特有的龟化石Testudo marginata cretensis Bachmayer，可能比大陆物种大，并且在形态上也有一些重要的差异。在本文中，我对这些模式标本进行了修订，并首次描述了来自Gerani IV、Zourida、Koumpes、Liko、Mavro Mouri IV和Simonelli洞穴(靠近Herakleion)、Rethymnon裂缝的更新世遗址和该岛东部Sitia开放遗址的许多额外化石标本。这些标本大多属于边缘陆龟，但也证实了乌龟的存在。这些新化石有助于反驳克里特岛亚种的有效性，并改变了巴尔干半岛南部更新世/全新世时期边缘陆龟的活动范围。

The fossil record of turtles from the Pleistocene of Crete (Greece)

The Isle of Crete contains an important endemic fossil fauna that has been studied extensively in the past. An endemic fossil tortoise, Testudo marginata cretensis Bachmayer, Brinkerink & Symeonidis, 1975, had previously been named from Pleistocene cave deposits in the island, presumably being larger than the mainland species and having some important morphological differences as well. In this paper I revise these type specimens and describe for the first time numerous additional fossil specimens from the Pleistocene sites of Gerani IV, Zourida, Koumpes, Liko, Mavro Mouri IV, and Simonelli Caves (near Herakleion), Rethymnon fissure, and from the open site of Sitia in the eastern part of the Island. These specimens belong mostly to the marginated tortoise, but the presence of a terrapin is confirmed as well. These new fossils help to refute the validity of the Cretan subspecies, and change the range of the marginated tortoise during Pleistocene/Holocene times in the southern Balkans.
