Abstract
ABSTRACT New specimens from the Eocene of Nigeria yielded one new genus and species, Amekicarcinus enigmaticus, and the new species Glyphithyreus bendensis. Indeterminate remains of an axiid decapod were also collected from the same deposit. Nigerian decapod occurrences in general display a Tethyan or Paratethyan distribution in the Eocene, whereas Cretaceous occurrences include Atlantic distributions in addition. Many Nigerian decapod genera cross the K/Pg boundary in the Atlantic, proximal to the Chicxulub impact area.
期刊介绍：
Annals of Carnegie Museum is a quarterly journal that publishes peer-reviewed short and medium-length original scientific contributions in organismal biology, earth sciences, and anthropology, in 40 by 52.5 pica format (168 by 220 mm or 6-5/8 by 8-5/8 inches). Subject matter must be relevant to Carnegie Museum of Natural History scientific sections or Powdermill Nature Reserve (PNR), preferably with connection to the Carnegie collection and/or personnel. Carnegie Museum staff and research associates receive publication priority, but others are encouraged to submit papers, especially those manuscripts explicitly based on the Carnegie collection.
