Six species are present in this collection, two of which are new, Longodromites akainokkos, and Planoprosopon conspicuus. In this study, localities dominated by sponge bioherms are markedly...

Zusammenfassung:Fossil decapod crustaceans are reported from eight Late Jurassic localities in Dobrogea, southeastern Romania. Six species are present in this collection, two of which are new, Longodromites akainokkos, and Planoprosopon conspicuus. In this study, localities dominated by sponge bioherms are markedly less diverse than those dominated by coral reefs.
