Description

Fig. 11. Reconstruction of the Howick Arthropleura. (a) Scale of the Howick Arthropleura relative to other articulated giant specimens (preserved remains highlighted pink) and the largest Diplichnites cuithensis trackways known from each Carboniferous-Permian stage. Note that the previously known partially complete body fossils were both markedly smaller than the dimensions of Arthropleura revealed by trace fossil evidence. For references and details of localities mentioned, see Table 1. (b) Reconstruction of the Howick Arthropleura within its habitat of a lower delta plain with open woodland.
