Not enough butter for crab.
Well, more seriously, this isn't the first eurypterid they've found, which is part of the reason they could tell so much from so little - it matched to what they had.

For some reason they're calling it a sea scorpion even though they show it not having a stinger.
I guess they're calling it that because of the 2 pincers.
am I the only one who thinks that in the picture they include with that article, it looks like some kind of pokemon?
Sea scorpion!... I choose you!!

Pretty much. It's body type more closely matches that of a scorpion than it does anything else, especially the way the pincers seem to be connected to the main body. Course, it's probably a much closer relation to deep sea lobsters than anything else modern, but it looks like a scorpion. More or less.Originally Posted by SegNin

What will knowing large bugs existed in the distant past do for us? I would only want to find out if I was bored or getting paid enough money.

What will knowing that dinosaurs or, for that matter, any animal existed in the past do for us?
Technically speaking, nothing, but many others are interested in things like these and would like to know why they don't exist now. Just because you don't find an interest or modern relevance in this sort of thing doesn't mean that others can't or don't.
