Abstract
Twenty-nine new identifications of fossil decapod crustacean remains in the Basque-Cantabrian Basin (Western Pyrenees) spanning from the Jurassic to the Miocene and coming from twenty-four new and five yet known localities are described here for the first time. These remains represent a substantial advance in the knowledge of these faunas and their diversity in this basin, giving an accurate image of the decapod faunal succession. The study includes a taxonomical description and discussion with reference to the known occurrences. Their accurate dating and the environmental ascription have been possible after the analysis of the stratigraphic occurrence in the context of a well-known basinal stratigraphy. This has ultimately permitted a brief analysis of the decapod palaeoecology and faunal turnovers in the context of basin evolution.
