Once upon a time, ginormous sea scorpions ruled the oceans, and a fossil found in Australia might tell us why they disappeared.
Researchers have uncovered an amazing sea scorpion fossil in Australia that shows these giant predators capable of swimming across the world.New fossils suggest that sea scorpions grew to a large size that they could cross the whole world.
The latest and rarest recently turned up in Australia. Researchers assembled the pieces into a very large picture, according to Russell Bicknell, study lead author and paleobiologist from the American Museum of Natural History. “That tells us that these animals were actually really built quite effectively for traveling really, really far. So they were probably traversing a similar amount of distance as some“And that’s really, really exciting because it’s really, really hard for us to know how these animals were able to migrate, or if they did migrate, without these kinds of fossils.”
“The animals had basically managed to migrate to the oceans around Australia and then was sort of moving in and out of these environments that we think are kind of like very, very big deltas — kind of freshwater, kind of marine environments,” Bicknell continued toAfter performing such a feat, why did they go extinct? It remains a most intriguing question.
