They are members of the extinct class Eurypterida (Chelicerata).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#000000\" size=\"4\" face=\"Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Sans Serif\" style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, 'Sans Serif'; font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThe word Eurypterid comes from the Greek word eury meaning \"broad\" or \"wide\" and the Greek word pteron meaning \"wing\". The largest, such as Jaekelopterus, reached 2 meters (6 ft 7 in) or more in length, but most species were less than 20 centimeters (8 in). They were formidable predators that thrived in warm shallow water in the Ordovician to Permian. Although informally called \"sea scorpions\", only the earliest ones were marine (later ones lived in brackish or freshwater), and they were not true scorpions. According to theory, the move from the sea to freshwater probably occurred during the Pennsylvanian period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDomain: Eukarya, Kingdom: Animalia, Phylum: Arthropoda, Subphylum: Chelicerata, Class: Merostomata, Order: Eurypterida\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCast measures 33 x 12 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCast replica\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e$275 unpainted or\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e$299.00 painted (plus shipping) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease contact us for shipping rates outside the United States.
