Comments

The lithographic limestones of Nusplingen in Baden-Württemberg are somewhat older than the more famous deposits of Solnhofen in Bavaria.

The length of the crustacean (without antennas) is about 18cm.

Diagnosis (Schweigert 2001, p. 4, translated from German by oilshale): " Large-bodied species of the genus Antrimpos whose head spur bears 11 spinous processes on the dorsal side, with a greater distance between the rearmost and the others. On the ventral side of the head spur there is 1 spur just anterior to the anteriormost spur of the dorsal side. Long propodite on the elongated 3rd pereiopod. "
