and shellfish !
To follow upon the photograph of shellfish grips of the page innovations, here a field a little less explored by the amateurs, because less spectacular than the ammonites of this layer. But which did not révé to discover complete crab with its legs? And well here is one opposite, coming from the collection from a colleague.
The shellfish of the style "crab" are rather rare on the layer and their anatomy articulated of origin did not facilitate their conservation. One in general finds only the carapace, and more rarely of the fragments of pinces.L' the most current species is "Notopocorystes", pertaining to the Raninidae family whose certain kinds are currently still present in water of the indo-peaceful oceans.
