- Lot Description
Ancient Seas, New York, Herkimer County, Lang Quarry, Silurian period, ca. 443.8 to 419.2 Million years ago. A wonderful, fossilized sea creature known as Eurypterus remipes within a rectangular slate matrix. This specimen is from the Fiddler's Green Formation which has produced some of the finest examples of museum grade fossils. Eurypterus is part of the Eurypterids genus, extinct anthropoids, often referred to by the catchy name “sea scorpion” due to their segmented bodies and two large appendages shaped like paddles. These extinct creatures are related to today’s horseshoe crab and prehistoric trilobites. Eurypterids thrived in salt, brackish, and freshwater, and represent what many scientists believe to be the first life-forms that progressed out of water onto dry land. This fossil represents a scientific keystone in the progression and variety of Earth's life-forms as well as natural history and would surely be an important inventory specimen in any collection. Size: 7.375" L x 0.75" W x 6.75" H (18.7 cm x 1.9 cm x 17.1 cm)
Provenance: ex-Stein collection, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, USA, acquired prior to 2010
