A set of fossils collected 35 years ago belonged to the oldest-known scorpion species to date, a new study reports. The scorpion lived around 437 million years ago and was surprisingly versatile, having the ability to breathe both on land and underwater, the team explains. This fossil helps us make better sense not only of […]
