"These scorpions were dominant for millions of years because they didn't have natural enemies. Eventually they were wiped out by large fish with jaws and teeth."
How interesting Ken. Thanks for posting this. Can you imaging the size of the fish then??? They must have been whale size!!

Knowing how you feel, I did not want to mention those!! LOL!! I have heard of them finding giant millipedes before but nothing like this. I am glad they are not around anymore!! Imagine trying to take their pictures. LOL!!

You'd better get a wide angle lens then :P

I heard about this dig a couple of years ago through a friend from Germany. They found a lot more than "just" this feller, a couple of giant stonemoths?? pissebedden HELP and a few parts of a very large dragonfly

Very interesting that only a change in atmospherical pressure and oxygen level made it possible for these creatures to evolve... ID-followers... eat your heart out :lol:

All the best,
