03AE87943006FFD53E64FE1DEA2D342C.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Lakotemys australodakotensis gen. et sp. nov. can be diagnosed as a representative of Paracryptodira by the presence of a finely sculptured skull and shell and the likely location of the foramen posterius canalis carotici interni midline along the contact of the basisphenoid and pterygoid and as a representative of Baenidae by the absence of epiplastral processes and the development of well-developed axillary and inguinal buttresses. Among named Early Cretaceous baenids, Lakotemys australodakotensis can be differentiated from Protobaena wyomingensis and Trinitichelys hiatti by having an irregularly shaped vertebral V that does not lap onto neural VIII and that forms two anterolateral processes that partially hinder vertebral IV from contacting pleural IV and can be differentiated from Arundelemys dardeni and Trinitichelys hiatti by having a broader skull and triturating surfaces (see Discussion for additional differences).	en	Joyce, Walter G., Rollot, Yann, Cifelli Correspondence, Richard L.

03AE87943006FFD53E64FE1DEA2D342C.taxon	etymology	Etymology The compound word Lakotemys is derived from the combination of the word Lakota, in reference to the indigenous Lakota people of the greater Black Hills region, and the fossil-bearing Lakota Formation, and emys, ancient Greek for turtles. The species epithet australodakotensis is formed in allusion to the state of South Dakota through the combination of the word auster with the suffix - alis, Latin for south, and Dakota. The suffix - ensis is used to indicate a location.	en	Joyce, Walter G., Rollot, Yann, Cifelli Correspondence, Richard L.
