Fig. 8 in The largest arthropod in Earth history: insights from newly discovered Arthropleura remains (Serpukhovian Stainmore Formation, Northumberland, England)

Fig. 8. Details of the Arthropleura specimen. (a) Alternation of granular (1) and smooth (2) texture on medial tergites. Granular texture interpreted to reflect degraded verrucose texture to anterior part of each tergite. View of underside of dorsal exoskeleton preserved on surface of slab A. Scale bar 1 cm, (b) Detail of right lateral paratergites seen on slab Bshowing striated patterning and frayed margins to the paratergites. Scale bar 1 cm. (c) Micaceous and carbonaceous smear on fragment of upper side of dorsal exoskeleton (slab A). Scale bar 1 cm. (d) Inflection of paratergites (1) relative to medial tergites (2) at anterior of specimen on the part. Head region seen at (3). Scale bar 1 cm. (e) Detail of invertebrate burrow (Planolites) seen in centre of slab Band likely exploiting remains shortly after interment. Scale bar 1 cm.
