User:Emfederico17/Chinese stripe-necked turtle

The Chinese stripe-necked turtle (Mauremys sinensis) or golden thread turtle, is a species of turtle in the family Geoemydidae.

Like many other Geoemydidae, this species hybridizes vigorously with related and not-so-closely related members of its family, and had their first evidence of reproduction in the European wetland.

It is one of the two most commonly found species used for divination that have been recovered from Shang dynasty sites, despite the Shang capital being over 1000 km north of its modern-day distribution range.
