“…In general, in-situ preservation of hermit crabs in their host shells is rare in the fossil record (Dunbar & Nyborg 2003;Jagt et al 2006), in spite of several recent records (see e.g., Fraaije et al 2008;Garassino et al 2009a;Fraaije & Polkowsky 2016;Pasini et al 2020). The most ancient examples known to date are of those preserved in ammonite shells, with records from the upper Pliensbachian (Lower Jurassic) of southern Germany (Jagt et al 2006), the Upper Jurassic of central Russia (Mironenko 2020) and the Hauterivian (Lower Cretaceous) of Yorkshire, United Kingdom (Fraaije 2003). During the Early Cretaceous, paguroids appear to have made the switch from ammonite conchs to empty gastropod shells (Van Bakel et al 2008), as has been documented by fairly numerous finds from central Europe in recent years.…”

Two new species of hermit crab are recorded from the upper Miocene (Tortonian) St. Marys Formation of Maryland, named Pagurus hazenorum n. sp. and Paguristes timoni n. sp. and assigned to the families Paguridae Latreille, 1802, and Annuntidiogenidae Fraaije, 2014, respectively. Both new species are morphologically close to present-day congeners, but can be differentiated on details of ornament (tubercles, granules and teeth).

“…Unfortunately, both publications contained no pictures of the specimens; the specimen of Archeosolenocera from Shmakov (2016) is included in the present work. Later, Mironenko (2020) reported the occurrence of a hermit crab buried in an ammonite shell (Tithonian of Moscow). The present paper provides new and detailed information on several recently discovered samples of crustaceans that have never been previously reported for the area.…”

The decapod crustaceans of Central European Russia have been the subject of studies since the nineteenth century, and the only species, Eryma quadriverrucatum Trautschold, 1866 (Erymidae), has been found in the Callovian to the Oxfordian of that region. The present paper discusses the new exceptional findings of Solenoceridae, Glypheidae, and Mecochiridae from the upper Callovian sites of the Ryazan Region. The previously reported presence of Archeosolenocera sp. is confirmed in detail; Glypheopsis aff. G. etalloni (Oppel, 1861) and Eumorphia sp. are noticed for the first time for this area. Modern identification of erymids is reported: Eryma aff. E. ventrosum (von Meyer, 1835), E. ornatum (Quenstedt, 1858), and Stenodactylina insignis (Oppel, 1862) are noted in addition to E. quadriverrucatum. These findings address the gaps in the fragmented knowledge about the decapod fauna of Central European Russia and exhibit a differentiation of the local Russian decapod assemblage from those of Western Europe. The decapod community of the Ryazan region is considered to be associated with soft substrates of upper sublittoral zone.

“…Hermit crabs (superfamily Paguroidea Latreille, 1802) are an interesting and diverse group of decapod crustaceans with a widely distributed but fragmentary fossil record (i.e., Via, 1959;Beschin et al, 2002Beschin et al, , 2005Beschin et al, , 2010Beschin et al, , 2012Garassino et al, 2009a, b;Garassino, 2010a, b, 2011;Fraaije et al, 2011Fraaije et al, , 2015Fraaije et al, , 2020Schweigert et al, 2013;Fraaije, 2014;Garassino et al, 2014;Hyžný et al, 2016;De Angeli and Caporiondo, 2017;Ferratges et al, 2020Ferratges et al, , 2021aMironenko, 2020;Ossó, 2020;Pasini et al, 2020) that extends back to the Jurassic (see Fraaije et al, 2022). This is due in part to their highly specialized morphology with poorly mineralized pleon adapted to life inside empty shells or other cavities (e.g., Lemaitre, 1989Lemaitre, , 1990Walker, 1992;de Forges et al, 2001).…”

A highly diversified fauna of hermit crabs associated with reef environments from the Serraduy Formation (lower Eocene) in the southern Pyrenees (Huesca, Spain) is described. Other European Eocene outcrops have yielded paguroids associated with a single environment; however, the studied association represents one of the highest paguroid diversities in a single Eocene outcrop worldwide. The new material increases the diversity of known fossil paguroids, including eight species from which six are new: Clibanarius isabenaensis n. sp., Parapetrochirus serratus n. sp., Dardanus balaitus n. sp., ?Petrochirus sp., Eocalcinus veteris n. sp., ?Pagurus sp., Paguristes perlatus n. sp., and Anisopagurus primigenius n. sp. We erected a new combination for Paguristes sossanensis De Angeli and Caporiondo, 2009 and Paguristes cecconi De Angeli and Caporiondo, 2017 and transfer them to the genus Clibanarius. This association contains the oldest record of the genera Eocalcinus and Anisopagurus. Our data demonstrate that paguroids were diverse by the early Eocene in coral-reef environments and fill an important gap between the poorly known Paleocene assemblages and the more diverse mid- to late Eocene ones.
