Description A huge Hibbertopterus scouleri prowls the sandy floor o a shallow sea in search for any trilobites or other much smaller prey animals to eat. The eurypterid’s whole carapace measures over 1.5 meters in width, thus implying an animal of extraordinary size.

I like the way the colors look on this creature. Is this animal based on an actual fossil or just an idea that came to mind?
