abyssunder Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Could you name the locality nearest to the site where they were found?

CraigHyatt Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) Could you name the locality nearest to the site where they were found?He gives the city Bila Tserkva and age as Eocene, but I haven't found the formation name. The geological map confirms his location as Eocene (P2-3). Geological map.

Guguita2104 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) I'm not very knowledgeable about crustaceans, but isn't Pulalius vulgaris a good option? Edited June 15, 2016 by Guguita2104 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraigHyatt Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 That is the location of where he lives. The location of the find is not specified. Fair enough. I was also going by the "south Kiev region" in his title, which is where the city is located. On the other hand, the geo map is pretty tight, so a few km either way might put him in a different formation.

ynot Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Nice finds! Someone should be around to help with the id's. Tony Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

FossilDAWG Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Almost all your specimens are too fragmentary for an ID beyond "crustacean". However there is one crab that does seem to preserve much of the dorsal surface. It would be helpful to see a view from the front (indicated by arrows) and the bottom if any of the crab can be seen from that view. Also any photos that clearly show any intact claws would be helpful. Don 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
