caretta, representing a novel pattern of development for the posterior orbital cartilage for this species. Embryonic mortality in green (Chelonia mydas) and loggerhead (Caretta caretta) sea turtle nests increases with cumulative exposure to elevated temperatures.

The nest environment and the embryonic development of sea turtles. 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. In 2006, the Sea Turtle Monitoring Project collected sea turtle nesting data for a. 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.
