TABLE 2. Comparison between the palaeoherpetofaunas of Hambach and Tegelen. Pliocene sites in Hambach are considered together. Data for Hambach are from: Mörs et al., 2000; Mörs, 2002; Joyce, 2016; Čerňanský et al., 2017; Georgalis and Joyce, 2017; this work. Mauremys cf. sophiae (reported as Ocadia cf. sophiae by Mörs, 2002) is here considered as part of Mauremys following Hervet (2004). The Tegelen herpetofauna is mainly based on the Russel-Tiglia-Egypte pit assemblage (Villa et al., 2018c), but it also includes the Emys occurrences reported by Schreuder (1946) and Villa et al. (2018c). Abbreviation: Croc., Crocodylia.
