This is a beautiful specimen of Eurypterus remipes from the Upper Silurian of New York. This particular type of fossil has been designated the ''State Fossil Of New York''. Eurypterids, or ''sea scorpions'', were the terrors of the Silurian seas. This detailed specimen displays the head, body, and the base of the tail (telson) in fine fashion (the pointed part of the telson is missing). BOTH PADDLES AND ALL EIGHT WALKING ARMS ARE INTACT - AMAZING! The grey-brown fossil contrasts wonderfully with the light grey matrix. The extinct arthropod is beautifully centered on the semi-squared plate of dense limestone. This is a fabulous display example of a strange Silurian arthropod.
