| A 3-D computer illustration of Eurypterid, more commonly known as a Sea Scorpion, from the mid Ordovician to late Permian (460 to 248 million years ago). Eurypterids (sea scorpions) are an extinct group of arthropods that are related to arachnids and include the largest known arthropods to have ever lived. They went extinct during the Permianââ¬âTriassic extinction event 252.17 million years ago. Their fossils have a near global distribution. Though purely an artistic interpretation, the structure of the animal is inferred through fossil images and scientific notation of what the species may have looked like within the environment in which they existed. |
