Five area biologists have collaborated for a recent publication

that documents the first known record of the Spiny Softshell

turtle in Sullivan County, TN.



The turtle was captured 19 July 2014 from Steele Creek Park

Lake and verified by A. Floyd Scott of Austin Peay State

Universiy Museum of Zoology and now appears in the Atlas

of Reptiles in Tennessee published by the university.



The publication of the record is in the June 2015 issue of

Herpetological Review (page 214).
