Just how big is it? Skimmed the paper and couldn't find any info on that specifically. |

Well the scalebar in the figure showing the fossils is 4 cm so the partial plastron is around 40 cm's I think... The whole shell would be between 70 to 110 cm's I think. |

Oligocene giant tortoises are known from Egypt and other african locations. Now there's a north american species. |
