Emydura sp.

Fig. 4E .

Material.—QM F7035 (anterior half of carapace) and QM F7034 (anterior half of plastron) from Middle Gully of Chinchilla Rifle Range, Australia, Pliocene; QM F9038 (symphyseal region) and QM F9039 (left dentary) likely from Chinchilla, Australia, Pliocene.

Remarks.— Gaffney (1981) described QM F7034 from Middle Gully, near the type section of the Chinchilla Sand, QM F7035 from Chinchilla Sand, while QM F9038 and F9039 are also presumed to be from Chinchilla Sand based on preservation (Alan Bartholomai, personal communication to Gaffney 1981).
