I'm surprised no one has tried to identify this eurypterid. Anyway, the page long ago used to say that it was Pterygotus. But when I look at it, it doesn't look like a Pterygotus. I see a  because of the 3-clawed telson that in a real Megalograptus was used to grab prey, attack predators, and fight off other males. Pterygotus doesn't have this kind of telson. In fact, the only eurypterid that I know with this kind of telson is Megalograptus. Granted, the claws in the JPB sea scorpion don't have long paired spines outta them like the real Megalograptus, but I think that is due to the low polly graphics of the game, so Ludia couldn't add them.
