Man-sized sea scorpion claw found!

The immense fossilised claw of a 2.5m-long (8ft) sea scorpion has been described by European researchers.

The size of the beast suggests that spiders, insects, crabs and similar creatures were much larger in the past than previously thought, the team says.

The claw itself measures 46cm - indicating its owner would have been longer even than the average-sized human. Overall, it exceeds the record for any other sea scorpion (eurypterid) find by nearly 50cm.

The scorpions are thought to have made their first scuttles on to land about 450 million years ago.
