Spider (Araneae)
Age: Eocene

Size: Amber piece is 1 inch long
This is an amazing amber fossil. It is a very large spider (Araneae) from the Baltic Coast of Russia. This specimen has great detail - the LONG legs are intact and display beautifully. The many eyes of the spider are easily seen. The ugly arachnid is well displayed in the amber piece. And it even looks as if the spider was preserved in the ''attack'' pose! This is a very distinct spider trapped in Baltic Amber (large close-up photo is included for free).
