WHAT DOES SEA SCORPION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

sea scorpion

Eurypterid

Eurypterids are an extinct group of arthropods that are related to arachnids and include the largest known arthropods to have ever lived. They are members of the extinct order Eurypterida; which is the most diverse Paleozoic chelicerate order in terms of species. The name Eurypterida comes from the Greek words eury- and pteron. This name was chosen due to the pair of wide swimming appendages on the first fossil eurypterids discovered. The largest, such as Jaekelopterus, reached 2.5 metres in length, but most species were less than 20 centimetres. They were formidable predators that thrived in warm shallow water, in both seas and lakes, from the mid Ordovician to late Permian. Although informally called "sea scorpions", only the earliest ones were marine, and they were not true scorpions. According to theory, the move from the sea to fresh water had probably occurred by the Pennsylvanian subperiod. Eurypterids are believed to have undergone ecdysis, making their significance in ecosystems difficult to assess, because it can be difficult to tell a fossil moult from a true fossil carcass.
