  • Figure 3. A, Bunodes lunula d'Eichwald, 1854 from the late Silurian (Ludlow) of Oesel, Estonia. Specimen ELM G1:262:2, clearly showing the partially reduced pre-opercula tergite of somite VII (arrowed) between the downturned carapace and the hypertrophied tergite of somite VIII. Scale bar = 10 mm. B, 'Eurypterus' stoermeri Novojilov, 1959, a chasmataspidid from the early Devonian (Lochkovian) of Siberia, Russia. Specimen PIN 1138-1, exhibiting the microtergite of somite VII (arrowed) positioned between the carapace and the buckler. The microtergite curves anteriorly towards its lateral edges, and is particularly noticeable on the left-hand side. The occurrence of ridges associated with the lateral eye on the carapace is also labelled. Image courtesy of Dave Marshall. Scale bar = 2 mm.
