本稿では富山県南部桐谷地域の手取層群桐谷層(中一上部ジュラ系九頭竜亜層群相当層)
から産出した生痕化石タラシノイデスT〃α/ass加0 について予察的に報告する。この生 痕化石は2008年10月、著者により本層中部をなす灰色細粒砂岩から採取された。標本はタ ラシノイデスT〃α/ass加Ojagsの3次元的な棲管構造の一部であり、層理面に平行するT字な いしY字状に分岐した棲管と、これにほぼ垂直なシャフトの基部からなる。表面には棲管 内彫刻の痕跡はなく、滑らかである。また棲管破断面に対称性の高い同心円状の裏打ち構 造が認められる。タラシノイデスT〃α/ s" 〃 は甲殻類の移動摂食痕であると解釈され ている。手取層群では甲殻類化石の産出は下部白亜系石徹白亜層群から数例知られるのみ で、その下位の九頭竜亜層群および相当層から報告されていない。したがって本標本は、
手取層群において甲殻類の存在を示唆する最も古い化石記録といえる。
