Spider with a tail found in 100-million-year-old amber
An international team of scientists has found an arachnid resembling a spider with a tail, which was fossilised in amber about 100 million years ago. Although no living spider has a tail, researchers noted that some relatives do have an anal flagellum. The new species with four pairs of legs and silk-producing spinnerets at its rear was named Chimerarachne yingi.
