Family: Megalograptidae - not Pterygotidae?

edit

Seems the extinct family of eurypterids of "Pentecopterus" may not be the "Pterygotidae" family as currently presented - but may be the "Megalograptidae" family instead, according to the original published study[1] - if so, any help in correcting the article would be welcome - and appreciated - in any case - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 13:30, 2 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
