#FossilFriday... but despite the resemblance, these are not crustaceans (sorry, no Crustmas here). These are molts from Eurypterus, a Silurian chelicerate often described as a sea scorpion. 🦂⚒️🧪

Welcome back to #Fossilfriday
Here is a "sea scorpion" or the Eurypterid Eurypterus remipes. This specimen comes from the Upper Silurian Fiddler Green Formation in Herkimer Co, New York. This happen to be the state fossil of New York. Some such as the Pterygotids could reach enormous sizes!
