Anthracomartidae
Extinct family of spiders
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anthracomartidae, first described by Haase, 1890,[1] is a family of the extinct arachnid order Trigonotarbida.[2] It is likely to be most closely related to the Archaeomartidae, based on a 2014 cladistic analysis, within the clade (Palaeocharinus (Archaeomartidae + Anthracomartidae)).[3] Many specimens come from siderite nodules of late Carboniferous age in Europe and North America.
