In 2012, pleurosternid remains were described from the Bückeberg Formation of [[Lower Saxony]], northwestern Germany, and this prompted a re-assessment of the problematic species ''"Pleurosternon" typocardium'', which had been tentatively referred to ''[[Glyptops]]'' by Milner (2004).<ref>A. R. Milner. 2004. The turtles of the Purbeck Limestone Group of Dorset, southern England. Palaeontology 47(6):1441-1467</ref> The new genus ''Ballerstedtia'' was coined for ''"P." typocardium'', and the remains from Lower Saxony were named ''B. bueckergensis''.<ref>H.-V. Karl, E.
