Sea scorpions (or Eurypterids) were big predators in the seas around 400 million years ago. Strong pincers would make an easy meal out of a trilobite. Some Eurypterids could grow as long as me!!

I’ll add to that, Kabuto’s evolution Kabutops is based on trilobites and possibly eurypterids (“sea scorpions”, though not true scorpions but ancient relatives of arachnids). The name Kabutops is probably a reference to Triops, or possibly even Triceratops.

It's a sea scorpion (Eurypterid). Anomalocaris was a Cambrian beast, closely related to arthropods. (Art Rainer H)

design consists of a mix between a and the still-living (considered a living fossil) horseshoe crab. has a head similar to the trilobite’s cephalon, but it more resembles prehistoric arthropods that hunted in the seas.

This new critter is fascinating; related to the predator Anomalocaris and filter-feeder Aegirocassis but living like neither, it seems to be a mud-grubbing sweep-feeder, like some of the eurypterids that evolved later in the Paleozoic.

I favor the Eurypterids! They were giant fresh water Arthropoda that ruled the streams and listed with the antediluvian might of their terrible pincers!
