Gondwanascorpio emzantsiensis was a Gondwanan scorpion that lived 360 million years ago in the Devonian. Its fossil remains clearly showing pincer and sting were discovered in rocks of the Witteberg Group near Grahamstown in South Africa. At present this scorpion is the oldest known land-dwelling animal from Gondwana which in Devonian times was separated from Laurasia by a deep ocean.
