The scientists analyzed claws from a group of one of the largest sea scorpions, Acutiramus, which lived about 416 million to 419 million years ago in what is now New York and Ontario, Canada. They calculated that the pincers could only safely apply no more than 5 newtons of force without damaging themselves. So, 400 million years ago New York had what were basically 8 foot long cockroaches that ate Fig Newtons.

These monstrous pterygotids were believed to be terrors of the seas 470 million to 370 million years ago, long before the dinosaurs appeared, reaching more than 8 feet (2.5 meters) long with large claws laden with sharp spines.

I’ve seen the original fossils of honking big eurypterids, and nobody can convince me that these could be anything but terrifying.

Impressive, yes, but are they as tasty as a sea bass, or for that matter, the lovely sea roach?
