Pangshura tatrotia is an extinct species of turtle belonging to the family Geoemydidae.[1][2] It is known from the Early Pliocene of the Tatrot Formation near Padhri in Pakistan. It is known from a single specimen, a fossil shell collected in 1932 or 1933 by a Yale University expedition. It is similar to living species of Pangshura, but differs in details of shell anatomy.[2]
