- Eurypterid du Jour From the page: "The immense fossilised claw of a 2.5m-long (8ft) sea scorpion has been described by European researchers." This certainly is a piece of a very large eurypterid, one of the biggest arthropods ever. But those of you interested in this subject should be aware that there is a COMPLETE composite of a New York State specimen almost as large, on exhibit at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto.

- The species existed during a period in Earth history when oxygen levels in the atmosphere were much higher than today.

- The immense fossilised claw of a 2.5m-long (8ft) sea scorpion has been described by European researchers. The 390-million-year-old specimen was found in a German quarry, the journal Biology Letters reports. The creature, which has been named Jaekelopterus rhenaniae, would have paddled in a river or swamp. The size of the beast suggests that spiders, insects, crabs and similar creatures were much larger in the past than previously thought, the team says.

- Man-sized sea scorpion claw found The immense fossilised claw of a 2.5m-long (8ft) sea scorpion has been described by European researchers. The 390-million-year-old specimen was found in a German quarry, the journal Biology Letters reports. The creature, which has been named Jaekelopterus rhenaniae, would have paddled in a river or swamp. --- You can add 8 foot long scorpions to the list of reasons I'm glad I wasn't around 390 million years ago.
