3" Eurypterus (Sea Scorpion) Fossil - New York
This is a nice, 3" long Eurypterus remipes from Lang's Quarry in New York. While a fairly small specimen it very nicely preserved with both paddles present. It is nicely centered on a rectangularly cut slab of shale.
It comes with an acrylic display stand.

Eurypterids, commonly known as sea scorpions, are an extinct group of arthropods related to arachnids that include the largest known arthropods to have ever lived. Prevalent during the Silurian and Devonian, eurypterids were segmented aquatic arthropods with compound eyes and two club-like "arms." Some species exhibit toothed claws and may therefore have been predators.
