Welcome to eurypterids.co.uk, an online resource of eurypterid data and research. Here I aim to compile information and data on these extinct creatures in an easily accessable, online format. Summaries in new advances in eurypterid research or updates to the site are shown below. If you want further information, or wish to discuss my research with me, feel free to send me an email.

The taxonomic encyclopedia has been updated to account for a few synonymy issues. Over the next week or so I hope to update my research page and fill in some of the resources and services sections, along with expanding some of the localities and genus data.

The International Palaeontological Congress is a major international meeting held once every four years under the auspices of the International Palaeontological Association.

This year is the third congress, and is taking place in London. As part of the proceedings there is going to be a workshop on chelicerates, dealing with everything from the potential stem-group to derived arachnids, including eurypterids.

Details can be found on the website here; http://www.ipc3.org/

31/10/2009 The resources section is now up and running, including links to eurypterids in the media and a number of images. Further links and images shall be added in the future.
14/10/2009 A new paper is published online in Biology Letters today, reevaluating Romer's theory and looking at patterns of evolution in eurypterids.
