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!

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.
