I'm interested in this Arthropleura fossil and I just want to make sure it's legit. The seller says it's a pleurosegment from the tail of a younger individual. They also point out that there are Mariopteris remains.

Looks like a segment of Arthropleura to me.

I agree it's an arthropleura. I've got a similar one in my collection. It is most likely an undescribed species of Arthropleura and not Arhtolepeura armata. Here's a paper I found while researching the one I own.

Yes, that is something along the lines of what the seller said, it was also found in Poland. Very interesting paper by the way.
