Abstract
For the first time, trackways of arthropods (Decapoda or Branchiopoda) from the Upper Freshwater Molasse (OSM) of Switzerland are presented. One type of trackways is described as Hamipes molassicus nov. ichnosp ec. Beside body fossils of crabs, trace fossils from various arthropod s are discribed. Due to the rarity of arthropod remains and arthropod trace fossils of the OSM of Switzerland, an overview of the known data is given here.
