Dorsal surface of neck has small rounded tubercles. 5 claws on front limbs. Undershell whitish/yellow. Relatively short neck.
I think this is a Kreffts river turtle - Emydura macquarii krefftii. But I'd like confirmation before I add the scientific name.

Given the thin shield on its head and the spiny tubercles on the neck I'd say this is a Saw-shelled turtle. Just lost his serrated shell as an adult.
Great pics! Most likely a Kreffts river turtle. There are some others on Project Noah. You can do a search on the Organisms page to take a look at some other ones and decide for yourself, but my vote is Kreffts. :)
Great series! Thanks for sharing.
Interesting find!
