| Summary: | In this paper we identified the presence of two taxa of turtles so far not mentioned in the known paleontological area of Arévalo (Ávila). This region was known from the first half of the twentieth century by its findings in fossil turtles. Some specimens of giant tortoises were identified there. However, no other taxon of turtles has been, until now, described in Arévalo. The association of the three taxa recognized here is very common in the Cenozoic continental deposits of the Iberian Peninsula |
