	Paleozoic Seas in the Devonian Bothriolepis Drepanaspis Hemicyclaspis Groenlandaspis Cladoselachdae (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Eurypterus is perhaps the most well-known genus of eurypterid, of which 200 fossil species are known.
		Eurypterus remipes is the State Fossil of New York.
		It was a formidable predator on muddy sea floors that covered much of the eastern Appalachian Basin near the end of the Silurian Period, around 420 million years ago.

	Eurypterus remipes replica from Great South Gems and Minerals
		Most eurypterids were equipped with a telson at the end of the tail.
		According to fossil trackways found in Austrailia, eurypterids could also spend time on land, and were likely the first animals to leave the water.
		This specimen is a replica of Eurypterus remipes from the Upper Silurian period.

	Dino Land State Fossils: Eurypterus remipes of New York
		Today eurypterid fossils are abundant in the Bertie Dolostone, a Silurian limestone layer that extends from Buffalo, New York through Herkimer County, roughly the route of the New York Thruway.
		These rocks were formed between 415-400 million years ago, when a certain eurypterid, Eurypterus remipes, was terrorizing the shallow, tropical sea that once covered much of present day New York.
		And, millions of fossils of Eurypterus remipes remain in the dolostone, making the dreams of fossil hunters, rockhounds, and paleontologists alike a reality, too.

	Eurypterus remipes
		Eurypterus remipes is probably the most common eurypterid or "sea scorpion" species found in New York State.
		For all these reasons, the eurypterid Eurypterus remipes was designated the official state fossil of New York in 1984.
		The broad head and spiked tail of Eurypterus remipes show a closer similarity to fossil and modern horseshoe crabs, such as Mesolimulus.

	New York State Fossil Foundation, "New York State Fossil Makes Good," By Geoffrey Notkin
		The type of fossils found here were first discovered in 1818 in Oneida County, and mistakenly described as fossil fish by Dr. S. Mitchill, "an error obviously induced by the peculiar catfishlike aspect of the carapace," notes The New York State Museum's beautifully-illustrated Memoir 14: The Eurypterida of New York, published in Albany in 1912.
		The eurypterid, sometimes erroneously dubbed a "sea scorpion," is a distant relative of today's horseshoe crab, and 420 million years ago powered its armored body through "breeding pools in brackish waters," known as colonies.
		After several seasons, cracks began to appear, and by skillful use of a pair of rock hammers the large plates were split, sometimes revealing a specimen of Eurypterus remipes.

		The body is also similar to Pterygotus, although the fairly short resembles that of Eurypterus.
		The metastoma ovate; genital appendage is short and broad in the type "B" form, long and narrow in male.
		The body is fairly elongate; the largest species attaining a length of about a meter but most much smaller (average about 20 cm).

	New York State Fossil (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		New York's state fossil, Eurypterus remipes, was a formidable predator on muddy sea floors that covered much of the eastern Appalachian Basin near the end of the Silurian Period, around 420 million years ago.
		Eurypterids are an extinct group of arthropods that were common during the Paleozoic Era.
		Although Eurypterus remipes is not as common as some other New York eurypterids, its distinction as the first member of the group ever discovered led to its adoption as the state fossil in 1984.

	Systematics of the Eurypterida (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		For fossils in which only the dorsal (back) side is visible, this means we cannot always identify them to species.
		The fossil at right is a remarkable exception; two fossils of Eurypterus were fossilized side-by-side showing both the dorsal and ventral aspect.
		Fossil of Eurypterus is specimen 31472 in the UCMP Invertebrate Type Collection.

	ED YOUNG'S TRUE VALUE ~A History of the Town of Amherst NY Chapter 1~
		The earliest known history of life in Amherst NY was written, over 300,000,000 years ago, during the Age of Invertebrates in the Silurian periods.
		Fossils found in sedimentary rocks of Western New York give evidence that Crinoids, commonly called “Sea Lilies” (still living in the Indian Ocean) and “Eurypterus” (which are closely related to scorpions and sometimes grew to six feet in length) lived in the warm shallow seas covering the area at the time.
		And numerous imprints of the Crinoids were found in the limestone of the Miller Quarry between Spring Street and Glen Avenue.

		Eurypterids : On the left, Eurypterus, is from the Silurian of New York state, USA (the fossil Eurypterus remipes was adopted as the state fossil in 1984).
		At right, Mixopterus a rather fearsome predator of the Devonian that grew to be about a meter in length.

	Fossil biomechanics
		Eurypterids came in variety of shapes and sizes and some reached two metres in length.
		The species I am going to be talking about, a close relative of Eurypterus (right), was a more modest 20 cm or so as an adult.
		Some eurypterids possess paddles which many workers have regarded as an adaptation for swimming (others have suggested that they were used in digging).
