These parts of crab carapaces are determined as belonged to Xantho poressa (Olivi). The 14C numerical age data is fixed as 6.644±48 BP the age of the basement levels of the studied sequence. This crab species and the other fauna assemblages of the Mediterranean and Black Sea origin are shown to live at the same environmental conditions
