Arthropleura - An arthropleura crawls among ferns in a carboniferous forest 310 million years ago. The Arthropleura is considered to be the largest arthropod of all times measuring 2-3 metres in length. He is a distant relative of arthropods such as a thousand-legged. A four foot long Arthropleura crawls amidst seed ferns from the genus Neuropteris in a Carboniferous forest 310 million years ago in what is today Scotland. Growing up to 8 feet long and 18 inches wide, Arthropleura was the largest known terrestrial arthropod of all time. A combination of a higher percentage of atmospheric oxygen and relatively few terrestrial predators may have enabled Arthropleura to evolve to such an enormous size. Despite its fierce appearance, Arthropleura is currently believed to have been a vegetarian. In the shadows on the upper right are “” roachoids,””” primitive ancestors of modern cockroaches

Eogyrinus - Eogyrinus was one of the largest tetrapods of Carbonifere. It could reach 4.6m in length. His fossils were found in England. He was part of the Anthracosaur amphibian group that survived as far as Permian. It is believed that these amphibians were the ancestors of the group from which the reptiles were derived. In the background, a Meganeura, a giant dragonfly whose wingspan could exceed 80 cm. A 15 foot long, 200 pound prehistoric amphibian from the genus Eogyrinus swims down a Carboniferous tributary 300 million years ago in what is today western Europe. Further up the tributary another Eogyrinus prepares to enter the water. Eogyrinus was one of the largest predators of its time, and perhaps the largest of the family Eogyrinidae. It probably spent most of its time in the water, and like modern crocodiles probably fed on fish and other swimming vertebrates. Also in this image, on the upper left on the trunk of a Sigillaria scutellata is a giant millipede and cockroach. Flying overhead and resembling giant dragonflies are prehistoric insects from the genus Meganeura. The tree - like plants making up the surrounding forest include Sigillaria scutellata and Lepidodendron aculeatum. The low ground cover includes various primitive ferns and mosses — Eogyrinus - Eogyrinus was one of the largest tetrapods of Carbonifere. It could reach 4.6m in length.
