Аннотация

The article describes a tail vertebra of a giant sea turtle Chelonioidea indet. from the Upper Cretaceous Malyy Prolom locality (Ryazan Province, Russia; middle Cenomanian – middle Santonian). The tail vertebra, probably IV–X, with a preserved length of 3.8 cm belonged to a turtle comparable in size with the type specimen of the protostegid Archelon ischyros from the Campanian of USA. The proportions of the vertebral centrum suggest that it belonged to a female.
