Discovery of fossil Decapod from the Guanling biota

This paper reports a new specimen of decapod from Xinjiangdi Village of Chajiang Town, Luoping County, Yunnan Province. The new material comes from Triassic (Carnian) Xiawa Formation. It is the first discovery of the decapod from the Guan-ling biota, and also the first report from the Upper Triassic strata in China. The new findings increase the diversity of the Guanling bi-ota and provide new clue for further discovery of decapod in other Triassic exceptional lagerstäten from China in the future.
