Therefore, the finding in the eastern part of the island of some decapod remains within clasts of a ruditic Late Mesozoic and Early Tertiary formation of middle Lutetian age (Cuccuru ’e Flores Conglomerate) is interesting under various points of view. In particular they are represented by a cheliped of Maastrichtian age which is close to faujasi the Maastrichtian type area of Limburg, Belgium and The Netherlands (see Jagt et al., 2000, with references), and by a carapace from deposits currently assigned to the Selandian (Middle Palaeocene) which is attributable to Titanocarcinus since the classic palaeontological monograph of since the classic palaeontological presence in Meneghini (1857), who recorded their San Marco, near Miocene beds cropping out at Capo even if sporadically, this study, Oristano (W Sardinia).
