Kabutops is super weird, and almost evil looking?
It's a trilobite, but also a eurypterid?

It's hard shell makes it look very mean and predatory.

Arthropods were simply enormous. Arthropleura, the giant millipede (up to ~2m long), crosses a fallen trunk. A 70cm scorpion, Pulmonoscorpius, cacthes the small lizard-like Westlothiana. The 1.5m eurypterid Hibbertopterus clumsily crawls onto dry land.

The Oldest sea scorpion is Pentecopterus from the Ordovician Winneshiek Shale in Iowa. Despite this acclaimed status, they were relatively derived meaning it's possible we can find earlier eurypterids in the Cambrian.

Os Eurypterida ou ‘escorpiões-do-mar’ são animais incríveis e muito comuns nas representações do Paleozóico (Era anterior a dos dinossauros) e apesar de serem quelicerados, o nome “escorpião-do-mar” estaria um tanto equivocado. Vem com a gente aqui👇

Paleo friends: how does one find the really meaty reference material? Any good sites/experts I should visit/talk to?
