b'The Paleozoic Era was home to many strange and fascinating extinct groups, and among the most eye-catching of these were the eurypterids. Colloquially called \\u201csea scorpions,\\u201d these carnivorous aquatic arthropods came in many forms for many habitats and are now known from many amazing fossils. In this episode, we discuss what makes eurypterids distinct from similar organisms, what we know about their lifestyles, and the many ways they continue to surprise and confuse us.\\nIn the news: Brazilian crocs, injured cats, breeding ichthyosaurs, and mammal-munching dinos.\\nTime markers:Intro & Announcements: 00:00:00News: 00:05:30Main discussion, Part 1: 00:40:00Main discussion, Part 2: 01:03:30Patron question: 01:48:30\\nCheck out our blog for bonus info and pictures:http://commondescentpodcast.com/\\nJoin us on Patreon to support the podcast and enjoy bonus content! https://www.patreon.com/commondescentpodcast\\xa0\\nFollow this link for a 30-day free trial to Audible!www.audibletrial.com/CommonDescent\\nOr make a one-time donation via PayPal: https://tinyurl.com/4c68u4hp\\nFind merch at the Common Descent Store! http://zazzle.com/common_descent\\nJoin the Common Descent Discord server! https://discord.gg/CwPBxdh9Ev\\nFollow and Support us on:Twitter: https://twitter.com/CommonDescentPCFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/commondescentpodcastInstagram: @commondescentpodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCePRXHEnZmTGum2r1l2mduwPodBean: https://commondescentpodcast.podbean.com/ iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-common-descent-podcast/id1207586509?mt=2\\nYou can email us at commondescentpodcast(at)gmail.comOr send us physical mail at:The Common Descent Podcast1735 W State of Franklin Rd.
