The discovery of a nearly 6-foot long Paleozoic sea scorpion by the Iowa Geological Survey is capturing worldwide attention. Phys.org news reports "Geologists with the Iowa Geological Survey at the University of Iowa discovered the fossil bed in a meteorite crater by the Upper Iowa River in northeastern Iowa. Fossils were then unearthed and collected by temporarily damming the river in 2010. Researchers from Yale and the University of Iowa have led the analysis."
