Abstract
FELDMANN, Rodney M. and SCHWEITZER, Carrie E.. New nephropid lobster (Decapoda: Astacidea) from the late Campanian of California; extending the range of Pacific coastal fossil lobster occurrences. Bol. Soc. Geol. Mex [online]. 2021, vol.73, n.3, 00003. Epub Jan 31, 2022. ISSN 1405-3322. https://doi.org/10.18268/bsgm2021v73n3a241220.
Two well preserved specimens of nephropid lobster from the Late Cretaceous (late Campanian) Point Loma Formation in San Diego County, California, form the basis of description of a new species of Hoploparia. The occurrence represents the southernmost fossil record of macrurans along the Pacific coast of North America and it is only the third fossil lobster from California.
