Pterygotid eurypterids are known for their large size and elongate chelicerae. The Silurian Bertie Group of upper New York State has yielded complete fragmentary specimens giant individuals the pterygotid Acutiramus macrophthalmus indicating maximum body lengths over 2 m. Here we describe illustrate large, isolated examples otherwise poorly documented genital appendages (type A B, generally interpreted as female male respectively) this pterygotid. rarity affording a ventral view compromises attempts to infer length from dimensions appendages. These provide useful evidence interrelationships pterygotids when used in combination with other characters.

In this paper, we describe new materials of pterygotid eurypterid Erettopterus sp. excavated from the lower Silurian (Llandovery) Majiaochong Formation Guizhou Province, China. Those represent one earliest records genus Erettopterus, thereby indicating their long-lived history within South Chinese region, and might have accomplished global distribution earlier than previous estimated.

Abstract Chelicerae, distinctive feeding appendages in chelicerates, such as spiders, scorpions, or horseshoe crabs, can be classified based on their orientation relative to the body axis simplified either orthognathous (parallel) labidognathous (inclined), exhibiting considerable diversity across various taxa. Among extinct sea scorpions belonging Pterygotidae represent only chelicerates possessing markedly elongated chelicerae length. Despite hypotheses regarding potential ecological functions and movements of these structures, no comprehensive 3D kinematic investigation has been conducted yet test ideas. In this study, we generated a model pterygotid Acutiramus, making right chelicera movable by equipping it with virtual joint axes for conducting Range Motion analyses. Due absence fossil record clear indication lateral ventral (vertical horizontal insertion 1), explored analyses under four distinct settings two modes (euthygnathous, klinogathous) analogous terminology terrestrial relatives. The most plausible setting involved euthygnathous being folded ventrally over axis. This configuration positioned closest oral opening. Concerning maximum excursion angle, our analysis revealed that chela could open up 70°, while retracted against basal element 145°. proximal varied between 55° 120° orientation. Our findings underscore utility applying kinematics fossilized arthropods addressing inquiries functional ecology prey capture handling, enabling insights into possible behavioral patterns. likely captured processed using chelicerae, subsequently transporting opening assistance other prosomal appendages.
