This is a photo of the positive mold (named specimen) of the Chimera spider of Ying's studied by a scientific team led by Wang Bo of the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The reporter learned from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences that the two teams led by Wang Bo and Huang Diying, researchers of the Institute, each conducted research on a strange ancient spider from 100 million years ago: the Ying's Chimera spider. This newly discovered ancient spider allowed humans to discover that the ancient ancestors of spiders had tails, which provided key evidence for understanding the origin and early evolution of spiders.
This is the morphological structure of the Chimera spider (puzzle: a shape; b whiskers; c claws; arrows indicating ctenobiosis; d whisker limb enlargement; e-foot, arrow-like enlargement; e-foot, arrow indicating sensory hair on posterior tarsal node; f spinner and silk gland; g ventral surface overall feature; h abdominal feature).
