Well preserved small Cretaceous scorpion with intact stinger in clear yellow Burmite amber.
The presence of the stinger suggest the scorpion may have been actively hunting or in a defensive posture when it became trapped in resin, potentially highlighting interactions with ancient arthropods or vertebrates. The completeness of this specimen, particularly with its stinger intact, offers critical insights into Cretaceous scorpion morphology, predatory behaviors, and ecological roles.
