Resumen: The south-central margin of the Jaca Basin (South-central Pyrenees, Spain) offers well-exposed outcrops ideal for studying the distribution of decapod crustaceans across a mixed carbonate-siliciclastic depositional system during the middle-late Eocene (Bartonian-Priabonian). This study encompasses an area of 1000 km2, featuring environments from siliciclastic coastal plains and deltaic complexes to shallow carbonate and mixed platforms, including coral reefs, extending to prodelta/outer platform deeper conditions. Detailed sampling in four depositional sequences yielded 372 fossil decapod specimens from various lithofacies across 20 localities.
Our analysis identifies 39 decapod species within 22 families and demonstrates ecological zonation of decapods in shallow to relatively deep environments. Diversity peaks in siliciclastic shallow proximal prodelta areas and carbonate bryozoan meadows. Species distribution between carbonate and siliciclastic facies is similar, though taxonomically distinct. Articulated specimens predominantly occur in shallow proximal and relatively deep distal siliciclastic areas, linked to sudden sediment input and high sedimentation rates. These findings elucidate the spatial and temporal distribution factors of decapod crustaceans during the middle-late Eocene, contributing to the broader understanding of palaeoecological patterns in mixed depositional systems.
