Up there is a species of giant sea scorpion (More specifically: Jaekelopterus rhenaniae) which is very much thankfully dead, otherwise I would never go in the water, ever. At the top you can see it’s size compared to a man (2.5 metres or 8.2 feet) and down the bottom a fossilized claw measuring at 46 cm (too lazy to work out inches). This monster lived approximately 390 million years and scarily enough it’s only the largest arthopod by 30 cms (about 10 inches).
