Researchers at the Queensland Museum in Australia have discovered an extinct sea scorpion. The two new species of scorpion found in their search are quite mysterious.
They are trying to find new information about this species of scorpion through the fossil method. The best evidence that a scorpion lived in Queensland, Australia, is the fossil Woodwardopterus freemoпorum.
In 1990, the first fossils of sea scorpions were found in this area. Scientists believe that if this species of scorpion lived in the aquatic regions of the Earth, then their size should be huge.
Usually, such scorpions are large in size and used to collect water from rivers. When the zoologists at the museum heard about the discovery of a new species of scorpion, they did not want to believe it at first.
Later they took the help of experienced researchers and tried to find more information in this regard. Dr. Apdrew serves as a museum curator at Rozefelds. He is also working on the fossils of this sea scorpion.
Dr. Apdrew Rozefelds said that many animal fossils are preserved in our museum. But this sea scorpion fossil surprised me the most.
He understood through research that it would be a fossil of a large animal. In many respects, this fossil corresponds to a sea scorpion. He also talked about the events of 252 million years ago.
The fossils they found describe the last marine scorpion in Australian waters. This species of scorpion disappeared completely along with other animals long ago. They once had a lot of influence in these aquatic areas of Australia.
