Neogene decapod crustaceans from the Caribbean of Colombia

An abundant and diverse assemblage of decapod crustaceans from the Neogene (Miocene to Pliocene) from the Las Perdices and Tubará forma - tions in San Jacinto Fold Belt (Co - lombian Caribbean) is here reported. Found in shallow marine and paralic sediments, specimens of the following species are id...

Sumario:An abundant and diverse assemblage of decapod crustaceans from the Neogene (Miocene to Pliocene) from the Las Perdices and Tubará forma - tions in San Jacinto Fold Belt (Co - lombian Caribbean) is here reported. Found in shallow marine and paralic sediments, specimens of the following species are identified: Callianassidae, Neocallichirus scotti (Brown and Pilsb - ry, 1913), Glypturus toulai (Rathbun, 1919), Petrochirus bouvieri Rathbun, 1919, Hepatus lineatinus Collins and Todd in Todd and Collins, 2005, Pa - laeopinixa perornata Collins and Mor - ris, 1976, Persephona enigmatica Collins and Todd in Todd and Collins, 2005, Microphrys sp., Necronectes proavitus (Rathbun, 1918), Scylla sp., Euphylax maculatus Collins and Todd in Todd and Collins, 2005, and Eurytium sp. All of these species indicate a cor - relation with other Caribbean crus - taceans from the Neogene, mainly of Panama, Costa Rica, and Venezuela. The facies association and decapod assemblage suggest shallow marine environments for the Neogene units of this area of Caribbean coast of Colombia.
