	Fossil Turtle Research presents eleven new contributions on turtle paleontology, phylogeny and evolution. Most of these were presented as reports at the Symposium on Turtle Origins, Evolution, and Systematics (August 18 – 20, 2003, St. Petersburg, Russia). A short report on that successful symposium is also included in this volume. All papers are in English
