    Arthropleura species?

    Hello dear fellow forum members, I just acquíred what I believe to be a moulted piece of Arthropleura armor. The Information I got was "carboniferous near Saarbrücken, Germany". Can I assume that the species is A. armata then? Best regards, J
  2. That day was so exciting, because I found a really nice specimen of Mixoneura wagneri fern, a specie that isn't very commoon in the area. And the color is... I had the luck of found some Arthropleura armored pieces too (I have to clean and glue them) and a small part of a cockroach wing. Terrestrial fauna are very rare in Spain... I found It on a restored coal mine from upper Carboniferous, Stephanien B of NW Spain.

    Fossil finds

    The BBC news has ran two great fossil find stories leading up to Christmas first headline was Largest millipede fossil ever! found on a Northumberland beach Arthropleura in a sandstone block Howick bay. The second story was of the best ever dinosaur embryo in egg found in china thought to be an Oviraptosaur. Both news items are worth checking out as they are fantastic finds. Merry Christmas to you all John
  4. Afternoon all. I am relatively new to fossil collecting and identification (having collected only a small amount over the years on Manitoulin Island not far from where I am currently live in northern Ontario. I am writing this posts as the title suggests to inquire about Arthropleura fossils and how to properly identify one/what they even look like? I known that trace fossils created by this species exist, but is it possible to also find fossilized body segments, such as plates? I thought I seen one that had indentations of sorts (almost like little holes but not quite) on it but am not sure if that is what you would expect from a fossilized plate of this species. I was browsing around the web hoping to purchase a specimen for my growing collection but would love to know a little more about what I should be looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if this is not the area for this post, my apologies and I will gladly move it to the appropriate forum. Cheers!

  6. Arthropleura is one of the most impressive animals that lived in the Pennsylvanian coal swamps. It is also the largest terrestrial animal known from the Mazon Creek deposit and largest terrestrial arthropod of all time. This giant millipede reach an enormous size estimated to be approximately 2 meters! Unfortunately we do not find complete body fossils. Tergites, limbs and an unusual joint structure that connected the leg to the body (rosette organ) have been found. Any Arthropleura material from Mazon is extremely rare. I would estimate there are only a few dozen specimens known to exist. The earliest reported find of Arthropleura in the Mazon Creek Came from George Langford and Eugene Richardson in 1952. They recovered 2 rosette organs. A few years later a complete leg was found. At first these finds were thought to be unusual shrimp. Richardson was the first to realize that they were indeed Arthropleura. This was the first reported find of Arthropleura in North America. Over the next 2 years a few other specimens were recovered. All were found in the same small area at Pit 1. Richardson formally described Arthropleura cristata in 1959. At the time there was some debate as to if Arthropleura lived its life in water or on land. Many trackways have been found at different sites proving that Arthropleura was terrestrial. Gut contents are known from more complete Arthropleura found at other sites showing that it fed on lycopsid spores. Lycopod cones have a similar appearance to a modern day pine cone. There are a few large coprolites that have been collected from the Mazon Creek deposit that consist of these cone bracts. These coprolites have been attributed to Arthropleura. I am very fortunate in having been able to accumulate several fantastic examples of the different body structures of this amazing animal. All specimens were collected from the actual Mazon Creek site. The leg shown is also pictured in The Mazon Creek Fossil Fauna book by Jack Wittry. This first specimen is tergite which would have been positioned on the outside edge of one of the body segments. Most specimens show preserve a bumpy texture. As you can see this one is smooth and might be showing the underside of this plate.
