That guy on the left being the size of a crocodile is a terrifying thought.
If it makes it any better, it would be a sort of small crocodile, at “only” 8 feet (2.6 meters ish ish) long.
That made it worse, I didn’t knew crocodiles were that big
crocodiles actually get much bigger than that…think record is somewhere about 7m and about 1.1 metric tonnes!
the chitin shell would made a sweet roofing material

Yeah it really puts into perspective the massive predators at the time who ate these things. No wonder they could get so big.

What is it about spiders, especially black shiny ones, that brings out the ICK factor and the OOG factor. I’d rather deal with the guy on the left, and I really don’t want to do that at all. There’s something about radial symmetry - having lots of legs in a radial pattern that is somehow frightening to our brains, I think. Remember the fence around the forbidden lands in Planet of the Apes? It looked like big spiders to me and scared me as a kid.
… the Arthropods! (cue laughter)
