Another unknown from the Piesberg

L.S.,

 

Specimen in the photographs below was found in the Upper Carboniferous (Westphalian D) of the Piesberg, near Osnabrück, Germany. Scale on last photo is approximate.

 

To me this looks like the rear end of some segmented animal. Any idea what it could be?

 

Thanks,

 

Tim

Tim, since the Mazon Creek fossils are close to the same time period, some of the many Arthropods from that locallity, could be players at Piesberg.

It has the look of a Eurypterid but the scale makes it small for that to be true.
