I’m currently working on a secret paleo-recreation project and was wondering whether Eurypterids (sea scorpions), specifically of the suborder Eurypterina, had 360 degrees of eyesight (like modern flies) due to compound eyes? If not, then could they move their eyes independently of one another? Or in other words, could sea scorpions move their eyes to look in two different directions at once?

A few days ago I spent the day collecting eurypterids with my good buddy Allan Lang. Firstly id like to thank Allan for his kindness towards me and his mentorship toward me, I'm very grateful towards him hes helped me a substantial amount and its always good seeing him. Anyway we probably found about a dozen good eurypterids as well as some neat associated fauna. Ill attach some photos below of some specimens we found! Top to bottom. Dolichopterus jewetti Undet cuticle, Prehaps the weathered carapace of Buffalopterus or Acutiramus. (Allan was generous enough to give this to me and the Dolichopterus because he knows I love my odd eurypterids) Windrow of Eurypterus remipes. Undescribed Eurypterus Referred to as Eurypterus laculatus. Nice Complete Eurypterus remipes. Last picture is of me and Allan looking at a plate as I flip it up.

I am unable to identify these pieces from my grandad's collection. He is now unable to clearly see and so sadly couldn't identify it. It must be something, he was a zoologist and the shale meant enough to have a crack repaired. Parts look like bones to me. I'd love to get these identified so I can prep them, making them clearer so he can see them clearer again.

I was working at my desk today when one of my fossils caught my eye. I picked it up and thought that looks like a Tully Monster, but a quick check on the internet and I realized too small and not my geological time period, the Tullimonstrum belongs in the Pennsylvanian period. 300 million years ago, too young, there you go Illinois US. So I’m thinking a part of Eurypterid, or sea scorpion, they were around during theSilurian. What do you all think?
