Crustacean microcoprolites from the Upper Jurassic-lower cretaceous of the Neuqun Basin, Argentina: Systematics and biostratigraphic implications

As a result of a microfacial study in the outer and middle ramp deposits of the Vaca Muerta Formation (lower Tithonian-upper Valanginian), four ichnotaxa of crustacean microcoprolites are described: Palaxius azulensis Kietzmann isp. nov., Palaxius caracuraensis Kietzmann isp. nov., Helicerina? isp....
