Biomechanical analyses of pterygotid sea scorpion chelicerae uncover predatory specialisation within eurypterids
Eurypterids (sea scorpions) are extinct aquatic chelicerates. Within this group, members of Pterygotidae represent some of the largest known marine arthropods. Representatives of this family all have hypertrophied, anteriorly-directed chelicerae and are commonly considered Silurian and Devonian apex...
