Nanhsiungchelyidae (IPA: [ˌnɑːnˈɕiʌŋχελiːdeɪ] or IPA: [ˌnɑːnˈɕiʌŋtʃɛliːdeɪ]) is an extinct family of land turtles known from Cretaceous deposits in Asia and North America.^[1] Nanhsiungchelyids were more terrestrial than many of their contemporaries, and may have gone extinct at the end of the Cretaceous as a result.^[3]
