This species is one of the largest sea turtles, weighing up to 200 kilograms. Loggerhead sea turtle eggs showing symptoms of fungal infection were. This species is one of the turtles The loggerhead turtle or loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) is an oceanic animal that belongs to the Cheloniidae family. During the embryonic stages, turtle nests are exposed to a number of risks that may. Anatomy of cartilages of the orbitotemporal region are described for E. The loggerhead turtle or loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) is an oceanic animal that belongs to the Cheloniidae family. caretta, representing a novel pattern of development for the posterior orbital cartilage for this species.

The frequency of gross abnormalities among the samples was also calculated. Comparisons among suggest that a possible remnant of the dorsal edge of the orbital cartilage remains and represents a portion of the posterior orbital cartilage in C. Embryological development of sea turtles (Chelonia mydas, Caretta caretta) in the Mediterranean by Yakup Kaska and Roger Downie Abstract: Simple embryonic staging of Mediterranean sea turtles was developed after measuring a set of selected morphological characteristics. Morphological changes through prehatching ontogeny are described for all dermal and endochondral elements of the skull and jaws, and the sequence of appearance and ossification of these elements are compared with similar data for Chelonia mydas, Natator depressa, and Dermochelys coriacea. Illustrations and descriptions of the chondrocranium at Stage 25 form the basis of comparison with similar data for the Loggerhead Seaturtle, Caretta caretta.

The embryonic development of the cranium of the Hawksbill Seaturtle ( Eretmochelys imbricata) is described on the basis of cleared and double-stained specimens.
