FIG. 5 in First report of Early Eocene Decapods in Morocco: description of a new genus and a new species of Carpiliidae (Decapoda: Brachyura) with remarks on its paleobiogeography

FIG. 5. — The paleogeographic map of the Tethys sea during the Ypresian (lower Eocene): 1, continental domain; 2, shallow marine domain; 3, deep marine domain, 4, oceanic crust boundary; 5, major thrust fault; 6, active subduction zone; 7, present-day coastlines; 8, Maurocarpilius binodosus n. gen., n. sp.; 9, Eocarpilius ortegai and Oscacarpilius rotundus; 10, Braggicarpilius marginatus and Carpilius petreus. This map also shows a hypothetical connection between the Tethys sea and the Bay of Biscay through the South Pyrenees. This is suggested by the spatial distribution of fossil carpiliids sites and imply a shallow marine corridor in the south of the Corso-Sardinian Block as also proposed by Colombo & Caus (1984).
