Eurypterid nervous auction. It's real?

[Seguidora-de-Isis]

I participated in a nervous auction on our favorite auction site and I won the auction ... It seems like I was able to fulfill an old dream of having an Eurypterid for my collection. It's 100% real or is it painted or repaired somewhere? Is a good specimen? According to the seller, this is a fossil discovered in Ukraine, only this described in the advertisement and nothing more, so I thank you for any and all information you have about this specimen.

It does seem real, and is not a bad specimen.

It looks real to me. Didnt know that Euripturids were found in Ukraine?

To be honest Adam, your new hat really doesn't show much in your latest facial post.

Thank you my friend @piranha. I was in great need of this scientific information! Very informative! By the way, do you know the location in which these Eurypterus are discovered in Ukraine and the age in millions of years? I am very grateful! Huge hug!

Many of those on sale on line seem to come from :

Velykozalissya,

Kamianets-Podilskyi,

Khmelnytskyi

Ukraine

And are from  the early Silurian Upper Ludlow of the Ustya Formation, Bahovytya member. 

This is Gorstian and about 427 mya.
