04.02.2025 21:04 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0An image of a fossil arachnid shown in doral (left) and ventral (right) view. The photos are black and white and the animal itself looks a bit like a spider, although it isn't. It has a tear drop chaped body covered with dense spines, and an anterior point. It doesn't have the narrowing between the front and the back of the body that spiders do.
A CT scan of the fossil described from the photos - this has a white body and purple limbs, and is rendered on a black background.
A coloured reconstruction of this fossil, which is a dark red all over, with yellow spines.
Word up. It's #FossilFriday. This week, meet Eophrynus. This is a ~315 million year old member of the trigonotarbids - an extinct group, related to spiders, whip spiders, and whip scorpions.  Check out the spines! I love this fossil.
