Abstract
"Two posterior cervical vertebrae found in new localities in New Caledonia have derived features of the extinct cryptodiran family Meiolaniidae. One cervical is from Pindai Cave, Nepoui Peninsula, and is associated with Holocene fossils and charcoal dated at 1720 [plus or minus] 70 years BP, whereas the other cervical is from Tiga Island with a probable late Pleistocene age"--P. [1].
