	Marine Phyla Pages
		The Merostomata live in marine to fresh water environments.
		While this may look dangerous it is not a weapon and serve only to help the animal in forward movement and to right it if it gets turned on its back, an important function as none of its limbs reach beyond the edge of the carapace.
		The Merostomata includes two rather different groups of marine organisms, the eurypterids and the horseshoe crabs.

	Hoseshoe Crabs
		The horseshoe crabs belong to a group of animals called the Merostomata, which first appeared in the fossil record during the lower Cambrian Period (570 million years ago) in the United States.
		The Merostomata are nearly extinct, and only five species in three genera survive today.
		The modern genus Tachypleus is not seen in the fossil record until the Miocene Epoch (22.5 million years ago) in central Europe.

	Horseshoe Crabs Class Merostomata
		The Class Merostomata are an ancient class of animals who evolved in the early Cambrian (570 million years ago) and were a dominant life-form in the seas and oceans of the world until the Permian 310 MYA.
		Now they are a very small group consisting of only 4 species in 3 genera and one order (or subclass) Xiphosura.
		It is not expensive and should be thoroughly enjoyable, so if you like it please tell people about it, or better still give it to someone as a present for Christmas of a birthday.

	Chapter 29 - Chelicerata/Merostomata
		Among the three subphyla in the Arthropod phylum, the Chelicerata subphylum contains two classes of animals, the Arachnida (spiders, scorpions, ticks, and mites) and the Merostomata (horseshoe crabs).
		With a "horseshoe"-shaped outer shell serving as protection, horseshoe crabs are one of the few contemporary members of the Merostomata class.
		The abundance of eggs serves as a vital food resource for migrating shorebirds traveling north to breeding grounds.
