Abstract

The arthropod-thanatocoenosis from the Middle-Eocene sediments of the Eckfelder Maar (Eifel, Germany) is characterized by a striking contrast between a highly diversified assemblage of terrestrial species on one hand and very few aquatic species on the other, hand. This most likely does not result from taphonomic biassing, but reflects a poor aquatic arthropod-community.
