Here is a fine example of Eurypterus remipes from the Upper Silurian of New York. This particular species has been designated the ''State Fossil Of New York''. This ''sea scorpion'' was the terror of the Silurian seas. This specimen displays the head, body, and paddles in fine fashion. The eyes are easily seen and even one of the small appendages is preserved. The dark gray fossil contrasts wonderfully with the light gray matrix. It is well positioned on the plate of dense limestone. This is a very nice specimen of this unusual arthropod.
