Simon Braddy and Markus Poschmann described and found an 18 inch mouth part. This came from the largest known eurypteriod (and arthropod) jaekelopterus. I know that probably wasn't what you were looking for....

That probably was the answer, at least for that one taxon.

Wow, astounding finds. The preservation is incredible on those, what a "scorpion" motherload you have there!
