Summary

Description
English: Size of Jaekelopterus, a giant pterygotid eurypterid. The chelicerae and pretelsons are based on material of their respective species, the telson in both is based on that of J. howelli, and parts of the opisthosoma are based on J. rhenaniae. The remainder of the opisthosoma is based on the related Acutiramus and Pterygotus, the prosoma is based on Acutiramus, and the limbs (excluding chelicerae) are based on Pterygotus. The human silhouette is from File:Silhouette of man standing and facing forward.svg (CC0).
