Dorfopterus
Extinct genus of arthropods
Dorfopterus is a genus of eurypterid, a group of extinct aquatic arthropods. Only one fossil of the single and type species, D. angusticollis, has been discovered in deposits of the Early Devonian period in the Beartooth Butte Formation in Wyoming, in the United States. The first half of the name of the genus honors the discoverer of this formation, Erling Dorf, while the second half consists in the Ancient Greek word πτερόν (pteron), meaning "wing". The species name angusticollis is composed by the Latin words angustus ("narrow") and collum ("neck").
