Material and measurements: Two loose dactyli (MSNM i28013 – ld: 14 mm; MSNM i28014 – ld: 12 mm).
Discussion. We ascribe tentatively two complete dactyli partially washed to this genus. Dactyli are strong, elongate, curved with pointed tips, bearing a rim of short teeth on the occlusal margin. This kind of dactylus is present in Carcinus Leach, 1814 , widespread in the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. The studied specimens show affinities with the dactyli previously reported by Garassino & De Angeli (2004a: 44, fig. 8) from the Pliocene of Cam- pore (Parma, Emilia Romagna, N Italy), also referred to Carcinus s.l.
