Puentemys

Puentemys is an extinct genus of bothremydid turtle from the Paleocene-age Cerrejón Formation in Colombia. It is the largest known bothremydid with a shell length of up to . "Puentemys" is the only Paleocene bothremydid known from South America, and is most closely related to the genus "Foxemys" from the Late Cretaceous of Europe, showing that Bothremydini, the tribe of bothremydids to which "Puentemys" belonged, had a nearly worldwide distribution across the K-T boundary. The ancestors of "Puentemys" may have reached South America by dispersing across Paleocene coastlines or by riding currents across the Atlantic Ocean.
