Brontoscorpio anglicus is a species of fossil scorpion. Its remains were discovered in Upper Silurian-aged sandstone from Trimpley, Worcestershire, and the species was described on the basis of an incomplete single free finger of a pedipalp, almost 10 centimetres (3.9 in) long.[1][2] The complete animal is estimated to be at least 90 centimetres (35 in) long and aquatic.[1] Its carnivorous diet may have consisted of worms, fish, or other arthropods.[3]
