  2. Jaekelopterus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaekelopterus

    Jaekelopterus is similar to other pterygotid eurypterids in its overall morphology, [2] distinguished by its triangular telson (the hindmost segment of its body) and inclined principal denticles on its cheliceral rami (the moving part of the claws). [3]

  3. Pterygotidae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pterygotidae

    Jaekelopterus, previously designated as a species of Pterygotus, was separated into a distinct genus in 1964 based on the supposed different segmentation of the genital appendage. These supposed differences would later turn out to be false, but briefly prompted Jaekelopterus to be classified within a family of its own, the "Jaekelopteridae".

  4. Pterygotus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pterygotus

    Like its close relative Jaekelopterus, Pterygotus was a large and active predator noted for its robust and enlarged cheliceral claws that would have allowed it to puncture and grasp prey and a visual acuity (clarity of vision) comparable to that of modern predatory arthropods.

  5. Eurypterid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurypterid

    If the proportions between body length and chelicerae match those of its closest relatives, where the ratio between claw size and body length is relatively consistent, the specimen of Jaekelopterus that possessed the chelicera in question would have measured between 233 and 259 centimeters (7.64 and 8.50 ft), an average 2.5 meters (8.2 ft), in ...

  6. Pterygotioidea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pterygotioidea

    Pterygotioidea (the name deriving from the type genus Pterygotus, meaning "winged one") is a superfamily of eurypterids, an extinct group of aquatic arthropods. Pterygotioids were the most derived members of the infraorder Diploperculata and the sister group of the adelophthalmoid eurypterids.

    Body shape of Jaekelopterus chart here is just based on art by Dmitry Bogdanov, but for body shape reconstruction in 2007 paper is more reasonable. I think I have seen screenshot of reconstruction of Jaekelopterus in older paper (on tweet of @Junnn11:) and it was similar to reconstruction in 2007 paper.

  8. Acutiramus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acutiramus

    The cheliceral morphology and visual acuity of the pterygotid eurypterids separates them into distinct ecological groups. The primary method for determining visual acuity in arthropods is by determining the number of lenses in their compound eyes and the interommatidial angle (shortened as IOA and referring to the angle between the optical axes ...

  9. Hughmilleriidae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hughmilleriidae

    The hughmilleriids were the most basal group of pterygotioid eurypterids, lacking the derived features that would come to evolve in the Slimonidae and Pterygotidae, such as flattened and expanded telsons (the posteriormost segment of the body, this feature is shared by both derived families) and enlarged cheliceral claws (exclusive to the ...
