The late Pliocene locality Camp dels Ninots is a fossil Lagerstatte that yielded an. exceptionally well preserved vertebrate fauna. Several turtles were reported from this locality and were all assigned to the living species Mauremys leprosa. We describe here a second turtle taxon based on carapace material. This new taxon is identified as Chelydropsis cf. politica. It is the first report of a chelydrid turtle in the Pliocene of the Iberiampeninsula. This discovery extends the range of the species to the southwest of Europe and thereby better documents the space and time distribution of snapping turtles before their supposedly rapid disappearance in Europe.
