Weighing 50kg and 2.7 metres long, Arthropleura walked the earth 326m years ago and may have been a hunter
Giant millipedes as long as a car and weighing 50kg once hunted across northern England, experts have revealed, following the discovery of a 326m-year-old fossil.
The largest ever fossil of a giant millipede was found by a “fluke” on a Northumberland beach at Howick, after a section of cliff fell on to the shore.
