Taxonomy
Limulus walchii was named by Desmarest (1822). It is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Solnhofen (Knorr Collection), which is in a Tithonian lagoonal/restricted shallow subtidal lime mudstone in the Solnhofen Formation of Germany.
It was corrected as Limulus walchi by Jackson (1906); it was recombined as Mesolimulus walchi by Størmer (1952), Charbonnier and Garassino (2012), Odin et al. (2019), Lamsdell (2020) and Bicknell et al. (2021).
