Again, only kidding.
It hasn't been accepted so far. Something along the lines of that Furculachelys(sp?) thing.

Chad,
Based on the one live speciman, and pictures I've seen, they are similar to an egyptian but get larger. The one I saw was around 6in long with coloration similar to egyptians; darker border around the scutes.
I didn't find any pics on the web but I think there are pictures of t.werneri in 'Turtles of the World Vol. 1: Africa, Europe and Western Asia', by Vetter. To see a picture of the cover of this book go to http://www.beanfarm.com/books/turtle/2.html
