scorpions (eurypterids) were the largest free-swimming creatures with external skeletons of the Paleozoic era; some attained 3 meters (10 ft.) in length and had huge pincers. This individual, Eurypterus remipes, was found in Herkimer Co., New York, USA. Fossil courtesy of the Black Hills Institute of Geological Research, South Dakota. |
