These beds reach their greatest thickness in depressions between topographic highs and thin towards, and finally disappear on, the crests. The early Late Kimmeridgian graded packstone–bindstone alternations represent the earliest plattenkalk occurrence in southern Germany. The undisturbed lamination of the sediment strongly points to oxygen-free conditions on the seafloor and within the sediment, inimical to higher forms of life. The plattenkalk contains a diverse biota of benthic and nektonic organisms. Excavation of a 13 cm thick plattenkalk unit across an area of 80 m2 produced 3500 fossils, which, with the exception of the bivalve Aulacomyella, exhibit a random stratigraphic distribution. Two-thirds of the individuals had a benthic mode of life attached to hard substrate. This seems to contradict the evidence of oxygen-free conditions on the sea floor, such as undisturbed lamination, presence of articulated skeletons, and preservation of soft parts.

    We are pleased and honored to welcome at the Paléospace Museum of Villers-sur-Mer the “6th Symposium on Mesozoic and Cenozoic Decapod Crustaceans”. Villers-sur-Mer is a place universally known by specialists and amateurs of palaeontology due to its famous Vaches Noires cliffs. Villers-sur-Mer has also the distinction of being the only French seaside resort located on the Greenwich Meridian line. The Paléospace is a Museum funded in 2011 with the label Musée de France. Three main animations linked to the Time are presented: palaeontology, astronomy and nature with the neighbouring marsh. The museum is in a constant evolution. For instance, an exhibition specially dedicated to dinosaurs was opened two years ago and a planetarium will open next summer. Every year a very high quality temporary exhibition takes place during the summer period with very numerous animations during all the year. The Paléospace does not stop progressing in term of visitors (56 868 in 2015) and its notoriety is universally recognized both by the other museums as by the scientific community. We are very proud of these unexpected results. We thank the dynamism and the professionalism of the Paléospace team which is at the origin of this very great success. We wish you a very good stay at Villers-sur-Mer, a beautiful visit of the Paléospace and especially an excellent congress. Jean-Paul Durand, Mayor and President of Paléospace MOT DU MAIRE DE VILLERS-SUR-MER Nous sommes très heureux et très honorés d’accueillir à Villers-sur-Mer, le « 6e Symposium on Mesozoic and Cenozoic Decapod Crustaceans » dans le cadre du Paléospace.

Trace fossils from the Baltoscandian erratic boulders in SW Poland. Annales Societatis Geologorum Poloniae, 87: 229–257. Abstract: Many well preserved trace fossils were found in erratic boulders and the fossils preserved in them, occurring in the Pleistocene glacial deposits of the Fore-Sudetic Block (Mokrzeszów Quarry, Świebodzice outcrop). They include burrows (Arachnostega gastrochaenae, Balanoglossites isp., ?Balanoglossites isp., ?Chondrites isp., Diplocraterion isp., Phycodes isp., Planolites isp., ?Rosselia isp., Skolithos linearis, Thalassinoides isp., root traces) and borings ?Gastrochaenolites isp., Maeandropolydora isp., Oichnus isp., Osprioneides kamp- to, ?Palaeosabella isp., Talpina isp., Teredolites isp., Trypanites weisei, Trypanites isp., ?Trypanites isp., and an unidentified polychaete boring in corals. The boulders, Cambrian to Neogene (Miocene) in age, mainly came from Scandinavia and the Baltic region. The majority of the trace fossils come from the Ordovician Orthoceratite Limestone, which is exposed mainly in southern and central Sweden, western Russia and Estonia, and also in Norway (Oslo Region). The most interesting discovery in these deposits is the occurrence of Arachnostega gastrochaenae in the Ordovician trilobites (?Megistaspis sp. and Asaphus sp.), cephalopods and hyolithids. This is the first report ofArachnostega on a trilobite (?Megistaspis) from Sweden. So far, this ichnotaxon was described on trilobites from Baltoscandia only from the St.

(1996). La recente scoperta di un piccolo campione, rivenuto nella Valle del Rio Seazza e in quella del Rio Rovadia, ha permesso un aggiornamento relativo ai crostacei decapodi delle Prealpi Carniche. Gli esemplari studiati sono stati assegnati a Acanthochirana triassica n. sp. (Aegeridae Burkenroad, 1963) e Antrimpos colettoi n. sp. (Penaeidae Rafinesque, 1815). Acanthochirana triassica n. sp. estende il range stratigrafico di questo genere nel Triassico superiore, mentre Antrimpos colettoi n. sp. rappresenta la seconda specie di questo genere segnalata nel Triassico superiore d’Italia. La scoperta di queste due nuove specie incrementa il numero delle specie di peneidi conosciuti nel Norico dell’alta Val Ta- gliamento (Prealpi Carniche settentrionali).

Abstract - The decapod crustaceans from the Upper Triassic (Norian) of the Dolomia di Forni Formation were reported by Garassino et al. (1996). The recent discovery of a small sample from this Formation between Seazza and Rovadia brooks allowed updating the decapod assemblages from the Norian of Carnic Pre-Alps.

Cold seeps fluids provide an additional source of energy for various sulfide- and 27 hydrocarbon-harvesting bacteria, often in symbiosis with invertebrates, attracting a variety of other 28 organisms including crustaceans (e.g., Levin 2005; Vanreusel et al. 2009; Vrijenhoek 2013).

Geodiversitas 34 (4): 849-855. http://dx.doi.org/10.5252/g2012n4a7 ABSTRACT In 1817, Desmarest erected Eryon cuvieri, a new crustacean from the Late Jurassic of Bavaria (southern Germany). Later, the same taxon was described as Macrourites arctiformis by von Schlotheim (1820). Subsequently, numerous authors, probably KEY WORDS unaware of Desmarest’s first paper, referred to this taxon as Eryon arctiformis (von Crustacea, Schlotheim, 1820). Following the Principle of Priority, the original name must be Decapoda, Eryonidae, used and Macrourites arctiformis von Schlotheim, 1820 is here considered to be a Eryon, more recent, subjective synonym. Moreover, two specimens of the type series of Lectotype, Eryon cuvieri Desmarest, 1817, from Faujas de Saint-Fond’s Cabinet of Natural Jurassic, Germany, History, have recently been traced in the Collection de Géologie of the Muséum Solnhofen.

Mickiewicza 30, 30-059 Kraków, Poland <[email protected]> Abstract Galicia marianae n. gen., n. sp. is described from the Middle Oxfordian limestones of the Southern Polish Uplands, in vicinity of Kraców. Glyphea (Glyphea) muensteri (Voltz), together with numerous dromiacean prosopid crabs, are associated with the decapod lobster described in this study.

The decapods prefer inter- and/or peri (or extra)- bioherm environments surrounding the cyanobacteria-sponge bioherms. Streszczenie Z utworów wapieni plytowych s´rodkowego oksfordu okolic Krakowa opisano nowy gatunek (nalez˙ a˛cy do nowego rodzaju) dziesie˛cionogiego homara Galicia marianae, oraz gatunek Glyphea (Glyphea) muensteri (Voltz, 1835), znany wczes´niej z obszaru Polski centralnej. Zilustrowano równiez˙ zespól krabów (z rodziny Prosopidae) który dominuje w obre˛bie malych bioherm wapieni ga˛bkowych, znajduja˛cych sie˛ w obre˛bie wapieni plytowych tych samych stanowisk (np. dolina Szklarki). Opisana fauna homarów preferowala paleos´rodowiska s´ródbiohermowe lub peryferycznych cze˛s´ci bioherm cjanobakteryjno-ga˛bkowych, szeroko rozprzestrzenionej w Europie oksfordzkiej megafacji ga˛bkowej znanej w calej Europie (od Portugali, poprzez Hiszpanie˛, Francje˛, Niemcy, Polske˛ az˙ do Rumunii).
