: Eurypterus remipes
Age: Silurian FORMATION:
Fiddler's Green
Location: Herkimer County, NY, USA
Info: While Eurypterids (“Sea Scorpions”) are uncommon fossils worldwide, New York state is one of the few places where conditions for preservation have been ideal. They were large arthropod predators during the Silurian and Devonian, reaching a maximum length of 2 meters.
Description: Eurypterids are commonly called sea scorpions. These arthropod predators appeared in the late middle Ordovician and disappeared in the Great Dying at the end of the Permian Period (~ 460 to 248 million years ago). They were predators to be reckoned with during their more than 200 million year run. Eurypterids crawled the sea and lake or river floor using pincers to grasp such prey as trilobites, and some believe that their tail spine was venomous. This is the fossil of an adult Eurypterus with most of the exoskeleton, the swimming paddles and a leg preserved. Its compound eyes are distinct as well as the exoskeleton's segmentation.
