Sea Scorpion Mortality Plate, Eurypterus remipes, Silurian, Herkimer, New York

Description

Fossil Sea Scorpions
Eurypterus remipes
Upper Silurian
410 Million Years
Bertie Group
Fiddler's Green Dolomite
Herkimer County, NY
This Eurypterus multi-plate is quite showy and is very busy indeed!
It boasts 2 primary Sea Scorpions along with sizable scattered body parts of at least 2 more specimens.
Entire matrix specimen measures approximately 7-1/4" x 5-1/2 and ranges up to 1" in thickness.
This fossil plate will display well horizontally.
This specimen
weighs approximately 2.42 lbs.
FYI  This plate is the other half of a specimen I sold in June.
Both halves are outstanding display specimens.
This fossil is quite durable and is safe to hold and examine.
Photos taken outdoor on a cloudy day.  Last pic taken indoors.
Photos don't quite due justice IMO.
Importantly, nicer Eurypterus fossils are increasingly difficult to come by.
See all my pics!
For this listing, I am only accepting Paypal payments.
U.S. Buyers Only !!  I am only shipping to the U.S.
I intend to send this fossil well protected in a Priority Mail Medium Flat Rate Box.
Thanks for looking at my ebay fossils!
