Note: This historical image is not a factually accurate paleontological restoration.
Reason: Cheliceral claws are likely too big (no evidence of cheliceral allometry in pterygotid according to Braddy et al. 2007).
You may ask further questions about the accuracy of this image at the image review page of Wikiproject Palaeontology on the English Wikipedia. Note that this image may be appropriate to illustrate obsolete paleontological views.
