Giant 5-foot Water Scorpion

Dang they found tracks of a 5-foot water scorpion (it seemed to be around 330 million years ago.) Man that would suck, go to the beach, hang out, and get stung by 5-foot Scorpion!

Where was it found? Is there a link or something where we can read about it or look at pictures? It sounds pretty interesting though.

Have a quick look here:

http://news.scotsman.com/scitech.cfm?id=2330522005

http://www.livescience.com/animalwor..._scorpion.html

The bottom of the 2nd link has a photo of the tracks. It looks like the
ground has now become a rock wall. Fascinating stuff. (I wouldn't mind
seeing Indy face-off against one of these!)

Thanks for the head's up, roundshort.

I was thinking more along the lines, of Sinbad and the 7 seas, not the Sinbad the fat guy. Indy facing the mythic challanges of Sinbad!
