Retroplumoidea
Retroplumidae is a family of heterotrematan crabs, placed in their own (monotypic) superfamily, Retroplumoidea. Classification Eight genera are recognised, of which all but two are only known from fossils: *'' Archaeopus'' † Rathbun, 1908 *'' Bathypluma'' de Saint Laurent, 1989 *'' Costacopluma'' † Collins & Morris, 1975 *'' Cristipluma'' † Bishop, 1983a *'' Loerentheya'' † Lőrenthey, in Lőrenthey & Beurlen, 1929 *'' Loerenthopluma'' † Beschin, Busulini, De Angeli & Tessier, 1996 *'' Retrocypoda'' † Vía, 1959 *'' Retropluma'' Gill, 1894 Ten species in two genera survive in the deep sea of the Indo-Pacific region: *'' Bathypluma chuni'' (Doflein, 1904) *'' Bathypluma forficula'' De Saint Laurent, 1989 *'' Bathypluma spinifer'' De Saint Laurent, 1989 *'' Retropluma denticulata'' Rathbun, 1932 *'' Retropluma quadrata'' De Saint Laurent, 1989 *'' Retropluma notopus'' (Alcock & Anderson, 1894) *'' Retropluma planiforma'' Kensley, 1969 *'' Retropluma plumosa'' Tesch, 191 ...

Heterotremata
Heterotremata is a clade of crabs, comprising those crabs in which the genital openings are on the sternum in females, but on the legs in males. It comprises 68 families in 28 superfamilies. Evolution Heterotremata is the sister group to Thoracotremata within the clade Eubrachyura, having diverged during the Cretaceous period. Eubrachyura itself is a subset of the larger clade Brachyura, which consists of all "true crabs". A summary of the high-level internal relationships within Brachyura can be shown in the cladogram below: The internal relationships within Heterotremata are less certain, with many of the superfamilies found to be invalid. The proposed cladogram below is from analysis by Tsang ''et al'', 2014: Superfamilies * Aethroidea * Bellioidea * Bythograeoidea *Calappoidea *Cancroidea * Carpilioidea * Cheiragonoidea * Corystoidea * Dairoidea * Dorippoidea * Eriphioidea * Gecarcinucoidea * Goneplacoidea * Hexapodoidea * Leucosioidea *Majoidea * Orithyioidea * Pa ...

Crab
Crabs are decapod crustaceans of the infraorder Brachyura, which typically have a very short projecting "tail" (abdomen) ( el, βραχύς , translit=brachys = short, / = tail), usually hidden entirely under the thorax. They live in all the world's oceans, in freshwater, and on land, are generally covered with a thick exoskeleton, and have a single pair of pincers. They first appeared during the Jurassic Period. Description Crabs are generally covered with a thick exoskeleton, composed primarily of highly mineralized chitin, and armed with a pair of chelae (claws). Crabs vary in size from the pea crab, a few millimeters wide, to the Japanese spider crab, with a leg span up to . Several other groups of crustaceans with similar appearances – such as king crabs and porcelain crabs – are not true crabs, but have evolved features similar to true crabs through a process known as carcinisation. Environment Crabs are found in all of the world's oceans, as well as in fresh w ...

Retropluma Craverii
''Retropluma craverii'' is an extinct species of heterotrematan crabs belonging to the family Retroplumidae. The species name ''craverii'' honors the Italian explorer and naturalist Federico Craveri. Fossil record Fossils of ''Retropluma craverii'' are found in marine strata of the Pliocene The Pliocene ( ; also Pleiocene) is the epoch in the geologic time scale that extends from 5.333 million to 2.58

Coniacian
The Coniacian is an age or stage in the geologic timescale. It is a subdivision of the Late Cretaceous Epoch or Upper Cretaceous Series and spans the time between 89.8 ± 1 Ma and 86.3 ± 0.7 Ma (million years ago). The Coniacian is preceded by the Turonian and followed by the Santonian. Stratigraphic definitions The Coniacian is named after the city of Cognac in the French region of Saintonge. It was first defined by French geologist Henri Coquand in 1857. The base of the Coniacian Stage is at the first appearance of the inoceramid bivalve species '' Cremnoceramus deformis erectus''. The official reference profile for the base (a GSSP) is located in Salzgitter-Salder, Lower Saxony, Germany. The top of the Coniacian (the base of the Santonian Stage) is defined by the appearance of the inoceramid bivalve ''Cladoceramus undulatoplicatus''. The Coniacian overlaps the regional Emscherian Stage of Germany, which is roughly coeval with the Coniacian and Santonian Stages. In magne ...

Late Cretaceous
The Late Cretaceous (100.5–66 Ma) is the younger of two epochs into which the Cretaceous Period is divided in the geologic time scale. Rock strata from this epoch form the Upper Cretaceous Series. The Cretaceous is named after ''creta'', the Latin word for the white limestone known as chalk. The chalk of northern France and the white cliffs of south-eastern England date from the Cretaceous Period. Climate During the Late Cretaceous, the climate was warmer than present, although throughout the period a cooling trend is evident. The tropics became restricted to equatorial regions and northern latitudes experienced markedly more seasonal climatic conditions. Geography Due to plate tectonics, the Americas were gradually moving westward, causing the Atlantic Ocean to expand. The Western Interior Seaway divided North America into eastern and western halves; Appalachia and Laramidia. India maintained a northward course towards Asia. In the Southern Hemisphere, Australia and Ant ...
