oilshale Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 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). https://bioone.org/journals/Palaeodiversity/volume-12/issue-1/pale.v12.a6/A-new-thylacocephalan-crustacean-from-the-Upper-Jurassic-lithographic-limestones/10.18476/pale.v12.a6.full?tab=ArticleLinkFigureTable 12 Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC).
