From the album: Fiddlers Green Formation
A nice plate that displays current (look at the orientation of the body) flow. It hosts 3 Eurypterus remipes, one having preserved its Kiemenplatten (ancillary structures on the roof of the gill chamber). The real prize on the plate is a small relatively complete Dolichopterus. Collected spring 2023 at Langs quarry by Dean Rucco and Allan Lang.-

I purchased this as a supposed Silurian Megalograptus from Yunnan a while back. The seller gave me additional information that it came from the Devonian Cuifengshan Formation in Qujing, Yunnan, China. However, the genus Megalograptus is Ordovician in age. I'm not really familiar with eurypterids, so maybe it's not even a sea scorpion. It certainly looks like some kind of invertebrate though. But maybe it's just indeterminate debris.

Silurian Eurypterus fossil has apparent symmetrical structures in Dorsal Cephalothorax
Biotalker posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I was fascinated by this eurypterid fragment from Ukraine because it has a rough symmetrical pattern on the dorsal surface of the cephalothorax. There is a midline structure with apparent tracts leading to the eyes and perhaps other structures (like downwards toward the abdomen). It doesn’t look like ventral appendages of the cephalothorax projecting dorsally. This has the appearance of some internal structure, fossilized with perhaps some part of the dorsal exoskeleton removed. While very unlikely, the tracts toward the eyes might lend some support an interpretation of a neural or neural structural component. This may very well be an artifact or perhaps someone has another explanation. The lighter two pictures have a light source from above while the darker three have a light source from the side to highlight the contours.- 4 replies

Hi I am Wondering if anyone could give this fossil an ID the seller called it “Carboniferous Eurypterid” and it was from Knob Noster, Missouri they said it could be Adelophthalmus what do you guys think? The first picture is the fossil the second 2 are Adelophthalmus fossils found from the same location

Hello Everyone!! I recently spent a week with Allan Lang collecting eurypterids. Me and Allan have been good friends for a couple of years, he is kind enough to invite me up to dig with him! We found many things over the course of the week some of the highlights were a Proscorpius, a few complete specimens of Acutiramus, and many Eurypterus. Ill attach some photos below. We spent most of the time splitting massive chunks of waterlime from the Phelps member of the fiddlers green formation. It can be very dangerous at times due to the weight and size of the rock, but often many complete eurypterids can be found in them. The Proscorpius was the most exciting find for me, The quarry has produced quite a few this year which is unusual as they are incredibly rare. It was a super fun time, I always love hanging out with Allan and collecting eurypterids at the quarry.

Hey everyone, today I found a new locality!! This locality is in the famous Shawangunk formation and it produces rare eurypterids. I have found Shawangunk material at a few localities but its interesting to compare the abundance of fauna at different localities. This new locality (like the others) primarily produces Parahughmilleria, However, 2 odd specimens were also found. One really reminds me of the invalid species Dolichopterus otisius. It is likely Nanahugmilleria clarkei. The other specimen is much more odd to me it could be Hughmilleria shawangunk but it could also be Kiaeropterus otisius. Ether way these eurypterids are incredibly rare, the Shawangunk is a very hard formation to understand and eurypterids are very scarce. Even with all the challenges that come with these sites its still probably my favorite formation to collect. Photo 1. Hughmilleria shawangunk? Photo 2. Nanahugmilleria clarkei? Photo 3. Parahughmilleria maria Photo 4. Parahughmilleria maria Photo 5. Hardieopterus myops (could be mineralization)

Hi everyone- i'm new to this but found a large fossil in my hedgerow today../ was hoping someone may be able to ID it for me. It's about 2" long and almost 1" wide. Quite deep. I live on a 20 acre farm in Rush NY near the Genessee River. I've got 2 long hedgerows that have been there since the 1800s., farmers have been throwing rocks that the plows turn up in them all this time. I've never seen one like this. Can anyone help? Kind regards, Christina

Help requested: Western NY / PA Late Devonian eurypterids & sponges
pefty posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
This Missourian is headed out to the Late Devonian of western New York state and Pennsylvania this coming week and hoping for a little help from y'all on localities for eurypterids and the sponge Hydnoceras. Are Clarke's (1920) Hydnoceras localities at Brown Hill (near Cohocton, NY) and Irish Hill (near Bath, NY) still productive and accessible? Are Ehlers' (1935) eurypterid localities at Bush Hill (near Smethport, PA)? Or are there other spots I should be checking out? I understand that the Trimmers Rock Formation in the vicinity of Bloomsburg, PA, is also worth a look for eurypterids, but I don't have any pinpoints mapped. If you're local to the area and want to show me the way yourself, I'll gladly bring you some Missouri crinoids Thanks in advance . . .- 3 replies

Found this artifact in Black's Beach, San Diego. Looks like a 6-ft scorpion. A Eurypterid maybe? I video and 3D scanned the find and sent it to The Nat and ROM (Toronto). Waiting for a response. Here are a few pictures. This ditch is likely to have been dug by the recent rains. Compare the size to my wrist watch: Closer look: Wavefront .obj file: Hit me up for high-res images, obj file, video, etc. Thanks!

Hi we've found these fossils in buffalo ny and based only on google searches we see resemblance with eurepterids as well as straight shelled nautiloids. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The photos shown are all different fossils I have them labeled a through c to make identification discussions easier. Thankyou in advance, we're learning!

My daughters and I went on what I thought would be a once in a lifetime hunt for Eurypterids over Memorial Day weekend this year. I wanted to share the bounty...18cm long 20 cm closeup of telson cool to get dorsal and ventral aspects of the prosoma, thanks to the plane of the conchoidal fracture

The fossil itself measures about 8 cm long with a width of up to 4 cm (measurements listed in that section are of the rock itself. It is difficult to see but a small stub of an appendage is visible on the left side of the head.
