Amber - Fossil matrix - Solifugae - 19.8 mm - 13.6 mm

Solifugae was sealed in 100 million-year-old amber. The details of the feet and body are well preserved. The Solifugae is an extinct species, and the details are very beautiful. Solifugae (commonly known as camel spiders, wind scorpions, or sun spiders) preserved in mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber (ca. 99 million years ago) represent some of the rarest and most scientifically significant arachnid inclusions ever discovered.While modern solifuges are well-known desert dwellers, their presence in the ancient tropical rainforests of Myanmar provides a critical evolutionary window into how these apex micro-predators adapted over millions of years. Period: Cretaceous (100 million years old) Location: Hukawng Valley, Myanmar Size: Amber 19.8*13.6*4 mm
