Mauremys sinensis

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. It is one of the two most commonly found species used for divination that have been recovered from Shang dynasty sites.
