Paleontologists have found a fossilized claw of an ancient sea scorpion that was probably 8 feet long. That would make it the biggest bug ever discovered.
The claw was found in a German quarry and scientists say that it shows that spiders and insects were far larger in the past than previously thought.
Simon Braddy, a University of Bristol paleontologist, told the Associated Press that “we have known for some time that the fossil record yields monster millipedes, super-sized scorpions, colossal cockroaches, and jumbo dragonflies. But we never realized until now just how big some of these ancient creepy-crawlies were.”
Wowww!
i don’t think scorpions are bugs
All I can say, discoveries of huge insects are pretty amazing!
whoa
wow
wow im glad im not a cave man! lol
Wow. Imagine finding THAT in your boot!
If the world was that old how much more dust would be on the moon? answer that!
If they only found the claw, How did they know it was even a scorpion or that it was eight feet long?
