Abstract

We briefly report fossil small-sized major chelae of alpheid snapping shrimps from the early Pliocene of Tuscany (central Italy). The studied specimens have been compared with the morphologically strictly similar fossil structures, recorded from worldwide Cenozoic sediments. This report represents the first record of alpheid shrimp snapping claw fingertips from the Pliocene of Italy.
