Description:

Fossil arachnids date back more than 400 million years to the Silurian period. Provides a basic overview of the arachnid fossil record. Summaries of characteristics for each order (spiders, scorpions, harvestmen, etc.), which will help with the identification of newly discovered fossils. High quality photographs illustrating the diversity, how they are fossilized and showing their often excellent state of preservation. Probable ecology of extinct species is discussed based on the interpretation of morphology and the behaviour of their living relatives
