Largest-ever millipede fossil found on Northumberland beach
It is thought to have been more than 2.5m long and lived 326 million years ago in Northumberland. …
“Finding these giant millipede fossils is rare, because once they died, their bodies tend to disarticulate, so it’s likely that the fossil is a moulted carapace that the animal shed as it grew,” said Mr Davies. “We have not yet found a fossilised head, so it’s difficult to know everything about them.”
