Sea scorpion fossil - $250
Eurypterus remipes (scientific name)
Silurian - 432–418 million years ago
Cedarville, New York, USA
Eurypterus are an extinct genus of marine arthropods and are commonly (and very appropriately) called sea scorpions with a needle-like final segment and some species having pincer-like arms.
Specimens from this species can easily have a price tag of 4 figures... these are rare and very desirable fossils for collectors!
One eye is clearly preserved in this specimen, the other is there but not so well preserved. In the screenshot from the catalogue, it is noted there is a paddle missing. I do not believe this to be true, I believe the left paddle is tucked alongside the body where the obvious bulge is. I have included the details for specimen number 1408 too as all of the details for 1409 are there and "ditto'd".
This is a truly unique piece from over 400 million years ago!
Pick up is welcome from the Hibiscus Coast
I can send it on a tracked courier to any urban address for $7 (RD extra)
