Aquatic amphipods (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Crangonyctidae) in three pieces of Baltic amber
@article{Coleman2004AquaticA, title={Aquatic amphipods (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Crangonyctidae) in three pieces of Baltic amber}, author={C. O. Coleman}, journal={Organisms Diversity & Evolution}, year={2004}, volume={4}, pages={119-122} }
Three amber pieces containing crangonyctid aquatic amphipods are examined. One of the specimens appears to have the urosome unsegmented, and uropods 3 shortened, resembling extant Synurella sp. In another amber piece there are eight specimens of Palaeogammarus sp. which look as if they had been dry prior to becoming embedded in the resin.
