Abstract

The decapods Linuparus grimmeri Stenzel, Protocallianassa mortoni (Pilsbry) and Necrocarcinus (Cenomanocarcinus) vanstraeleni (Stenzel)? are described from the middle Turonian Semilla Sandstone Member, Mancos Shale, of north-central New Mexico. The main specimen of P. mortoni is unusually complete, consisting of a complete left first cheliped, parts of other pereiopods, and most of the abdomen. Both L. grimmeri and P. mortoni are reported for the first time from the southern Western Interior. The stratigraphic range of L. grimmeri is extended upward from the upper Cenomanian, and the range of P. mortoni downward from the Campanian.
