Adopt a cuddly fossil friend today with Paleozoic Pals from the Paleontological Research Institution. The Paleozoic is the era before dinosaurs, during which animal life first diversified in the seas, and eventually came ashore to become land vertebrates. Great for fossil-lovers, this eurypterid plushie is 16 inches long. The species, Eurypterus remipes, is the state fossil of New York! Eurypterids are an extinct group of arthropods; their closest living relatives are probably horseshoe crabs. Also known by the name ’sea scorpions,’ they lived in aquatic (marine, brackish, and freshwater) and terrestrial environments from the Ordovician through the Permian Period.

Super Soft!
This little guy is so adorable. My youngest asked Santa for a stuffed ancient sea scorpion only a few days before Christmas and Amazon delivered! He’s super soft and larger than I expected. My son is a Dino-addict and loves him.

My plushie friend.
This the best eurypterid ever, very quiet and never makes a mess.

Accurate and adorable.
I saw this and had to buy it. It is really realistic, soft, washable and I find it cute. Not sure I am going to give it away as I had planned or keep it. Looks just like the Eurypterid fossil I have. If you have a fossil lover in your life I recommend this plushy.
