    SUBJECT’S INFORMATION:
    • Jakelopterus rhenaniae also called Pterygotus rhenanius, is one of the extinct aquatic arthropods. And its fossils have been discovered in deposits of early Devonian age.
    • Otto Jaekel is the german paleontologist who described this species in 1914 and the generic name is a combination of his name “Jaekel” and the Greek word “pteron” meaning “wing”.
    • Based on the isolated fossil remains of a large Chelicerae or claw from the Emsian Klerf Formation of Willwerth, Germany, jaekelopterus rhenaniae has been estimated to have reached a size of around 2.3 - 2.6 meters making it the largest arthropod ever discovered.
    • The robust chelicerae and compound eyes of Jaekelopterus rhenaniae indicate it was active and powerful with high visual acuity, most likely an Apex predator in the ecosystem of Early Devonian Euramerica.
    • Although eurypterids such as jaekelopterus are often called sea scorpions the strata in which jaekelopteurs fossils have been found suggest that it lived in fresh water environment.
    • The reason behind the sudden death of the sea scorpions and scores of other marine and terrestrial animals of the period was due to the mighty Permian Extinction. This is the worst extinction event in the history of life. Took the lives of more than 96% of all marine life on earth.

    I really love how detailed this is!!! I'm always trying to find references of arthropods but always come up with either unclear images, or crappy school textbook drawings. This is an excellent combination of the fossils and its modern relatives!!!

    • @LifeofClay
      @LifeofClay  Рік тому

      That is a great and kind compliments my friend, this really means a lot.
      I also find it difficult to build this sculpture due to that same reason, lack of good references both fossils and books illustration. So i came up witht the idea to combine imagination and bits of collected datas of its existing relatives both land and water. And I'm so glad you liked it, my friend. Again thank you so much😊🙏

    Beautiful, you've really done this fascinating and terrifying animal justice. I'd love to see your take on other extinct invertebrates, like Anomalocaris or some of the more odd-looking trilobites/ammonites.
    Just wanted to add I've been watching your videos for a while now and they really are top tier. Aside from the sculptures themselves, I appreciate that you go into detail about the animals themselves, that really sets you apart from other sculptors on UA-cam. Keep up the good work!

    • @LifeofClay
      @LifeofClay  Рік тому

      Absolutely, i will make more prehistoric animals in the future, and I already excited for them.
      I appreciate your kind compliments, my friend. It really means a lot. Thank you so much😊🙏

    Fantastic work! What is the purpose of the sand during oven curing?

    • @LifeofClay
      @LifeofClay  Рік тому

      The sand bedding is to prevent the sculpture from deformation during baking.
      Thank you so much, my friend😊🙏
