Morphological insights into the lobster genus Uncina Quenstedt, 1851 based on new material from the Ya Ha Tinda Konservat-Lagerstätte, Canada (Early Jurassic)
Abstract:It is rare to find Early Jurassic crustacean material outside of Europe but the discovery of the Ya Ha Tinda Konservat-Lagerstätte in Alberta, Canada, has significantly increased the number of crustacean specimens, specifically of the genus Uncina. New articulated specimens of Uncina pacifica and Uncina ollerenshawi preserve most of the cephalothorax and pleon, not just the chelae of the first pereiopod. This new material from Ya Ha Tinda permits revised morphologic descriptions as well as a quantitative analy… Show more
