| Popis: | Summary Eurypterids — Paleozoic ‘sea scorpions’ that could grow several meters long — were thought to have been aquatic. Computer tomography reveals that respiratory organs of a new fossil eurypterid resemble arachnid book lungs, supporting the hypothesis that eurypterids — and perhaps arachnid ancestors — were amphibious. |
