100 Million Year Old Spider with a Tail

Way back when Spiders and Scorpions were not so diverged.

we have vinegaroon spiders that look very much like that. Our first chelicerea were water dwellers in the Ordovician. Eurypterids, early canceraes, Limulii, and a bunch of others. Seems that vinegaroons and camel "Spiders" are another of the dry land "Living fossils"

Im interested in the SE Asian Amber deposits. Maybe time for a road trip.

turns out that the ever photoshopped "Camel SPider" is a close relative.

When the scientists popped a little air bubble they heard a little voice,

"Damn, mom warned me about amber!"
