Giant scorpion that ruled the seas
It's named after a Trojan warship - Pentecopterus decorahenis - and was one of the most powerful ocean predators of its time. This newly discovered sea scorpion lived 467 million years ago and was nearly six feet long.
Dr James Lamsdell is the lead researcher on the team that uncovered the giant critter.
