Eophrynus sp. Eophrynus sp.
Probably: E. udus
Is under research.
Waste heap of the former mine Hendrik, South Limburg (NL).
It is a trigonotarbid spider-like animal, not a real (modern) spider. These trigonotarbids were armoured with a carapace. The upper side parts are called tergites and they are numbered T1 - T9. The lower site parts are called sternites.
Look below to see the differences between the two species to be considered.
