Sea Spider

Period: Cretaceous

Age: 95 million years

Region: Lebanon

Sea spiders (Pantopoda) are a class from the arthropod phylum. They are mainly found
in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Antarctica and the Arctic, though they can be se-
en everywhere in the world. There are some 1,000 species of sea spider, which can li-
ve at depths of up to 7,000 meters (23,000 feet). The long legs emerging from the sea
spider’s body are its main distinguishing feature. The 95-million-year-old Cretaceous
Period sea spider fossil shown pictured shows, in the clearest way, that this life form

never evolved.
