TMNH Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) There's only one thing that doesn't make sence... I've heard that there are a number of different species of arthropleura, but the only one everyone talks about is A. Armata. I've been able to find a few nondescriptive references on the web about a small species named A. Moyseyi. There must be more...does anyone know of any other species?

Terry Dactyll Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 TMNH.... The sample of this material in the fossil record is so small and very often only fragments of the armour are found I would of thought it very diffiult to say for sure about different species... I has not heard of A. Moyseyi. to be honest ... Thanks for enlightening me... We could do with some reconstruction diagrams to explain the differences Cheers Steve...

Misha Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 7 minutes ago, FossilFinder1.0 said: I just found a fossil today, which I 95% believe is a arthropleura fossil today. The image is blurry, but from what I can see, it looks like a match for an arthropleura. It seems I have found a baby-sized end fossil of one. I was just picking through on my property like I always do at a my large shale deposit here in Northeastern Pennsylvania and found it among the many shells and little worm burrows/tunnels. I was quite surprised, noticing how different it was from the shells, so I decided to do some research and the arthropleura popped up. I saw images and compared my fossil to others and noticed great similarity which led me to conclude that it was part of a very young arthropleura. I now see that they are quite rare, which makes me wonder how many more could be underneath the rocks. Where I found it was below a small cliff that includes much shale, where I go fossil-hunting at least five times a week. I have a massive collection of fossils I have found from there, but this small.fragment of a small arthropleura is my best specimen. Definetley not arthropleura, That is the pygidium of a trilobite in the genus Greenops. They are common in certain parts of NE Pennsylvania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscarinelpiedras Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Continuing with this theme from years ago, here I show some examples of Arthropleura from my collection that I have found in the north of Spain. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welsh Wizard Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Interesting thread. Here is a link to an article on a large section of arthropleura that was found in U.K. a few years ago. https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/2021/december/worlds-largest-terrestrial-arthropod-was-car-sized-millipede.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
