René Fraaije found his first fossil at the age of 11. Graduated in earth sciences at the University of Utrecht in 1986. Received his PhD in 1996 on the evolution and ecology of meso- and kenozoic crustaceans. In 1983 he set up a foundation to start a new geological museum: the Oertijdmuseum in Boxtel, The Netherlands. To realize this, he organized numerous geological holidays and fieldworks in Europe from 1986 to 2000. From 1986 to the present, he is director of the Oertijdmuseum and author of many studies on fossil decapod crustaceans and other topics.

Barry van Bakel, palaeontologist and carcinologist with a track record of over 25 years, studies fossil crabs with the emphasis on primitive forms (Podotremata). He is associated researcher at the Oertijdmuseum (Boxtel, the Netherlands) and current PhD student at Utrecht University. Comparative morphology with extant congeners, palaeoecology and macroevolution are typical subjects of his ongoing work.

Jagt (1960) received his PhD degree at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in May 2000. He specialises in invertebrates, mostly echinoderms, decapod crustaceans, molluscs and ichnofossils from the wider vicinity of the type area of the Maastrichtian Stage (Late Cretaceous). John has named more than 250 new taxa over recent years and (co-)authored around 400 papers in peer-reviewed journals.
