Tityus apozonalli

Tityus apozonalli is an extinct species of scorpion in the family Buthidae known from a fossil found in North America.

[1] Tityus apozonalli was described from a solitary fossil, which is preserved as an inclusion in a transparent chunk of Mexican amber.

The Guadalupe Victoria site is an outcrop of amber bearing strata belonging to the Mazantic Shale and Balumtum Sandstone.

[1] The holotype was first studied by a team of researchers headed by Francisco Riquelme of the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Morelos with their 2015 type description of the species being published in the natural sciences journal PLoS ONE.

On the 1.1 mm (0.043 in) chelicerae there are rows of dentition which line up on each side of the jaws and scattered macrosetae on the lower back edges.
