China: 125 million year old fossil of giant scorpion living with dinosaurs in China

China : In the known treasure of early cretaceous fossils, a species of scorpion has been found in the early Cretaceous Fossils, which had never been seen before and which lived about 125 million years ago. This toxic scorpion was larger than many ancient – and modern -scorpion species. Researchers believe that it would have been a major species in the food chain, which would have eaten spiders, lizards and even small mammals living in their ancient ecosystem.

It is the fourth terrestrial scorpion fossils found in China and the first Mesozoic-Se scorpion fossil found in the country, the researchers described the Science Bulletin magazine on 24 January. Most of the scorpions of the Mesozoic era (252 million to 66 million years ago) are preserved in the amber. The co-writer of the study, Diying Huang, who is a researcher of the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paliantology in China, said that the fossil scorpion is very rare because these are very rare because these arycaddes are rare. Rocks) and remain under branches, where their sediment is less likely to be trapped and fossil.
Scientists found fossils in the Yixian Formation, which is the center of early cretaceous fossils in northeastern China. The team named the new species Jeholia Longchengi (Jeholia Longchengi). “Jeholia” means Jehole Biota, which was an ecosystem of the Northeast China in the early Creteshius, about 133 million to 120 million years ago, and “Longche” means the Longcheng district of Chaoyang, China, where the fossil is currently present. J. Long will be about 4 inches (10 cm) long, which makes it the giant of its time.
