Compsemys

Compsemys is a genus of prehistoric turtles from the Late Cretaceous and Paleocene of North America. Although several species have been described, they are all considered synonyms of one species, C. victa, first described by Joseph Leidy in 1856. Its familial affinities are unclear, with recent authors favoring Dermatemydidae.
