This fossil may not seem much but this is the last known eurypterid, ?Woodwardopterus freemanorum, from the Late Permian. Despite being the last of its kind, it was over 1 meters long. Art by Alison Douglas #EurypteridWeek #Paleontology https://t.co/zYRndiyAVj

The largest known arthropod ever to exist was Jaekelopterus rhenaniae, a giant eurypterid. Despite being a "sea scorpion," it actually lived in brackish to fresh water environments. #EurypteridWeek #FossilFriday https://t.co/J9wGvk0WOP

How did eurypterids mate? For Baltoeurypterus, they likely did a dance of sorts. The male guides the female to his deposited spermatophore where she envelops it with the two then separating. #EurypteridWeek #Paleontology https://t.co/Vqv6gQpkmW

The famous German Hunsrück slate got its first eurypterid within the past decade. This critter is estimated to be about 190 cm long! #EurypteridWeek #Paleontology https://t.co/PETi0np5Vj

Eurypterus specimen (YPM IP 009007) from the Williamsville Member in New York. This genus is the most plentiful sea scorpion in the world. #EurypteridWeek #Paleontology

Pentecopterus decorahensis is so far the oldest known Eurypterid. This beaut was found in the Ordovician-age Winneshiek Lagerstätte in Iowa. The relatively derived structures suggest they may have arose during the Cambrian. https://t.co/bM9WneDgIO #EurypteridWeek #Paleontology

This week we'll get pinchy celebrating Eurypterids (sea scorpions)! These chelicerates were a dominant force during the Early Paleozoic, establishing global success and diversifying into a rich, splendid order. #EurypteridWeek #Paleontology
