Mesolimulus

Mesolimulus is an extinct genus of arthropod. The best known examples are found in Solnhofen limestone near Solnhofen, Bavaria, Germany. Originally assigned to the living genus "Limulus", they are related to and look virtually identical to the modern horseshoe crab. Other species assigned to "Mesolimulus" have been recorded from Spain, Siberia and (questionably) from Lebanon.
Kouphichnium.
The unusual trackways left by these animals at Solnhofen were originally thought to have been made by birds or pterosaurs, since they included a cross-shaped marking comparable with the impression of a typical bird foot. Eventually they were correctly identified as arthropod footprints and named "Kouphichnium walchi", as proved by some remarkable 'death traces' showing a "Mesolimulus" circling round on itself before dying. The last leg of more advanced horseshoe crabs is modified into a so-called 'pusher' which consists of four plates at the tip which push against the soft sediment rather like a snow-shoe. This was what left the unusual bird-like footprints. 
These creatures were thought to have hunted at night due to the characteristic footprints and preyed on small ground insects and certain foliage. 
Horseshoe crabs in general date to the Ordovician Period, more than 440 million years ago, and late Paleozoic "Euproops" fossils indicate that they have changed little over the last 300 million years. Fossils preserved in Solenhofen limestone are unusual because soft body parts and skeletons are clearly represented.
