Fossil of a car-sized millipede found in England

This thing haunted my nightmares when I was a kid and learned there were things lurking in the Carboniferous forest that made Dr Who’s giant maggots look positively pedestrian. The giant dragonflies not a problem - a cow-sized millipede - no thank-you, that sort of horror doesn’t even belong in Australia.

Don’t visit Northumbria 300Mya without a flame thrower - which should work even better with those elevated levels of oxygen.
