Abstract Callianassids are among the most commonly found decapod crustacean fossils but their generic assignment is often difficult. Numerous cheliped remains have been found in the upper Miocene deposits of southwest Spain allowing description of a new species of a ghost shrimp, Podocallichirus laepaensis. The assignment of the new form to the respective genus is based mainly on the morphology of the major cheliped merus and provides useful implications for paleontological studies…

A new species of Mesostylus (Decapoda, Axiidea, Callianassidae) – A peep into the private life of a Late Cretaceous burrowing shrimp
Systematics, phylogeny, and taphonomy of ghost shrimps (Decapoda): a perspective from the fossil record.
TLDR
Preliminary results suggest that the ghost shrimp clade emerged not before the Hauterivian (~ 133 Ma), and the divergence of Ctenochelidae and Paracalliacinae is estimated to occur within the interval of HautERivian to Albian (133-100 Ma).

TLDR
Based on the examination of extant species it is argued that the morphology of the major cheliped merus, in combination with other hard part morphology characters, is sufficient for assignment of the fossil material into the genus Balsscallichirus.

TLDR
The finding of body fossils of U. tangeri in contemporaneous strata indicates these trace fossils are produced by the same species and demonstrate its presence in the eastern Atlantic coast at least for the last three million years.
