Was the Protichnites track maker a Euthycarcinoid?


Were the Krukowski quarry Protichnites and Diplichnites trackways made by a Euthycarcinoid? These enigmatic arthropods are found in many Paleozoic fossil sites. They meet the morphological criteria of a Protichnites trackmaker, having multiple legs and a telson. The Euthycarcinoids are a group of arthropods that are possibly a stem group of Myriapoda.
