What is the white spider in amber?
The white spider in amber is Chimera Ying. According to the China Journal, the white spider in amber is Chimera Ying's spider. Two international scientific research teams led by Huang, a researcher at Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, studied Chimera Ying's spider, a "monster spider" preserved in amber in Myanmar 6,543.8 billion years ago, and confirmed that the ancient ancestors of spiders had long tails, which filled the key link in the origin of spiders. The related results were published in the form of two back-to-back papers on February 6th, and published in Nature, a subsidiary of the British magazine Nature. It is understood that the chimera spider specimens discovered this time came from the Cretaceous period 1 100 million years ago, all of which were close to 3mm in length. Amber preserved the spider's tail well, which opened a breakthrough for studying the origin of ancient spiders.
