Etymology:
Meaning:
Eurypterid means "broad wing."
Origin:
The term "eurypterid" was first used by John William Salter in 1856 to describe a group of extinct arthropods known as sea scorpions. These creatures had broad, wing-like appendages that they used for swimming and gripping prey. The name "eurypterid" accurately reflects this characteristic feature.
