Hi all,
I haven't found a convenient photograph of a fossil whipscorpion
(order Uropygi) yet, so I will post a photograph of a close
relative--a short-tailed whipscorpion (order Schizomida). This
specimen is reported from Columbian amber (South America), dating from
the Pliocene to Pleistocene. Enjoy!
