Researchers have discovered a 125-million-year-old scorpion fossil in China, marking the first Mesozoic scorpion fossil found in the country. The fossil, named Jeholia longchengi, provides new insights into the Jehol Biota's food and is now housed at the Fossil Valley Museum in Chaoyang. Jeholia longchengi likely served as a mesopredator in the food chain, preying on insects and spiders, and may have been prey for larger animals.
