HYžNY, Matúš; BAHRAMI, Ali; YAZDI, Mehdi e TORABI, Hossein. Decapod crustaceans from the lower Miocene Qom Formation of the Isfahan area, Central Iran. Bol. Soc. Geol. Mex [online]. 2021, vol.73, n.3, 00008. Epub 31-Jan-2022. ISSN 1405-3322. https://doi.org/10.18268/bsgm2021v73n3a140521.
From the lower Miocene (Burdigalian) of the Qom Formation, exposed in three sections (Kuh-e-Donbeh, Bagher-Abad, and Vartun) in Central Iran, a decapod crustacean assemblage is described. The specimens exhibit two modes of pres-ervation: carapaces (either isolated or with attached appendages) and isolated cheliped elements. All studied specimens are fractured and/or eroded. Based on this moderately preserved material, three brachyuran crab taxa are identified, including Mursia cf. lienharti (Bachmayer, 1962), Palaeocarpilius rugifer Stoliczka, 1871, and Necronectes sp. The occurrence of P. rugifer represents the youngest confirmed occurrence of the species, whereas other two taxa represent the first confirmed Iranian occurrences of respective genera. This report enriches our knowledge on Miocene decapod assemblages of Iran, and thus helping to better understand the decapod migratory patterns along the Tethyan Seaway.
