Eurypterids
By Corey Lablans
Eurypterids or more commonly known as Sea Scorpions are an extinct group of arthropods. They expanded across the globe living during the Ordovician to the Permian (460-248 Million years-ago). The eurypterids in these photos come from the Late Silurian found at a quarry in Fort Erie, a part of the Fiddlers Green Formation of the Bertie Group.
