Thanks for sharing those great pics Mike and congrats on the finds. As for the Camel Spiders... yikes! I remember reading up about them a few years ago after the stories started coming out from troops in Iraq etc. I found a video of them at that time. I'll upload it to my site if anyone is interested!

You are most welcome. Here is a photo that might dissuade you from prospecting in Oman! http://meteoriteguy.com/spider.JPG These suckers are called Camel Spiders, and this is the first time I ever saw them. It is the latest in the year I had ever gone to Oman, very hot, even the nightly low was around 75 degrees, so these darned spiders were EVERYWHERE at night. They are the size of your hand, ~4-6 inches across, and very aggressive! They are terrifying to someone like me who suffers from arachnophobia! I could hardly sleep after one of them chased me from my tent and had to be put down with multiple shovel blows.
