Summary

Description
English: Size comparison of the carcinosomatid eurypterid Rhinocarcinosoma. The largest species, R. vaningeni, is estimated to be 39 cm (15 in) in length, while R. dosonensis has an estimated length of 22 cm (8.7 in). The more complete R. dosonensis was used to reconstruct the unknown and poorly known regions of R. vaningeni. R. cicerops is here shown at 4 cm (1.6 in) in length, though it is only known from juvenile remains. Accordingly, the unknown regions of its anatomy were restored after those of juvenile R. dosonensis and juvenile Eusarcana (a closely related genus).
