Abstract in brief

  • The text describes the discovery of a new fossil species of large orbweaver spider, Nephila jurassica, from the Middle Jurassic period in China, which extends the known fossil record of the genus by about 130 million years.
  • Nephilids, including Nephila, are known for their distinctive golden silk webs and are found mainly in tropical and subtropical regions; their fossils are rare, with the earliest known from Spain, and only a few from North America and the Dominican Republic.
  • This fossil indicates that Nephila originated on Pangaea, likely in the North China block, and had a warm, humid climate; its presence suggests it played a significant role in preying on medium to large insects during the Jurassic era.
