Pulmonoscorpius

Pulmonoscorpius kirktonensis (literally lung scorpion) is a giant species of extinct scorpion[1] that lived during the Viséanepoch of the Carboniferous. Its fossils were found at East Kirkton, West Lothian in Scotland. In life, this species grew to 70 centimetres (28 in) long.[2] The diet of Pulmonoscorpius is not known directly, but smaller arthropods may have formed part of its diet, and its sting may have been able to fell small tetrapods.[3]
