World's oldest hard-on is found - preserved in amber for 99 million years

Even the most stubborn unwanted erection will usually deflate if you hit it on the end with an ice-cold teaspoon.
So we can only cross our legs and imagine the pain involved in sustaining a massive stonk-on for 99 million years.
Scientists at Berlin Museum found the perfectly preserved – and surprisingly massive – pe nis preserved in amber.
The inflated organ belongs to a harvestman – a sort of arachnid found in Burma - and the creature’s proud, ancient schlong is actually an important scientific discovery.
The Museum says, ‘An international research team led by Jason Dunlop from the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin discovered a new example of this species which proved to be particularly important in that – for the first time – the male genitalia (the pe nis) is clearly visible.
‘Normally this male organ is hidden within the body when not in use. By chance, in this extraordinary amber fossil the pe nis is preserved fully extended outside the body.’
‘In Halitherses grimaldii the pe nis is spatula-shaped at the tip and is heart-shaped in outline, with a small tube extending from the very end. No living harvestman has a pe nis with exactly this shape.
‘This combination of features enabled the scientists to propose a new (extinct) family, Halithersidae, within the suborder Dyspnoi. This is the first time that a fossil family has been defined using a mixture of features relating to both the body and the genitalia, and allowed the researchers to study the relationships of these ancient fossils using the same approaches that they would use for living species. ‘
