Mesolimulus walchi, Horseshoe Crab, medium (Replica) Pachycephalosaurus pterosaurs are more closely relatedComing from the famous 150 million year old Jurassic Solnhofen Lithographic Limestone deposits near Eichstatt, Germany, this is a fine replica example of the Horseshoe Crab Mesolimulus walchi. Xiphosura, the horseshoe crabs, are related to the extinct Eurypterids, and more distantly to spiders and scorpions. Their lineage traces back to the Cambrian, and extends to modern times as the genus Limulus. This fossil is of a similar genus known as
