jpc Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Necrocrcinus is my initial thought too, but I agree... put it on the "crabs fever" thread started by MB. He really knows his crabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranha Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Attached is the formal description of Necrocarcinus tauricus. Unfortunately the OCR to translate the Cyrillic to English would not cooperate! Ilyin I.V. (2005) Cretaceous and Paleogene decapod crustaceans of the western part of Northern Eurasia.

Highlander Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 Fortunately i can understand russian (text of this description) Only one obsrtaction- the biological terms. I hardly understand it, because graduated in another specialization and never read biological descriptions, magazines e.t.c. But i will try to catch all information. Piranha thank you for crab type description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
