title: Rare fossil polychelid lobsters in turbiditic palaeoenvironments
abstract: Polychelidan lobsters are one of the rare groups of decapod crustaceans which were first discovered as fossils long before being identified in extant deep-sea environments. As for other decapods, their fossil record is highly incomplete, which complicates the reconstruction of their evolutionary history. Another problem that hinders better knowledge of the group is familial assignments, which can be difficult in the absence of a complete revision of known fossil taxa. As a result, only three fos
