I donated this Thylacocephala from the Upper Jurassic lithographic limestones of Solnhofen to Prof. Haug, LMU Munich. So far, three species of Thylacocephala have been described from the Altmühltal Formation (“Solnhofen lithographic limestones”),: Clausocaris lithographica, Dollocaris michelorum and Mayrocaris bucculata. Now a fourth new genus and species has been added: Falcatacaris bastelbergeri (Prof. Haug was so kind and named the species after me).

I think they are a group of enigmatic Arthropods which is my way saying I really don’t know either . @oilshale Congratulations and very much deserved. Remarkable specimen!

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
