Moved from Giant Hairy Scorpions.

Moved from Scorpions.

This one is intriguing because the border of the dark pigment on the face is more than usual for Hadrurus obscurus and a little too much for H. spadix. I would gather a guess of H. obscurus due to the pale border on the front of the carapace.

One would have to look at the trichobothira on the hands to really get a good ID on it. On the inferior surface of the fixed fingers of the hand, Hadrurus obscurus has 5 trichobothria; Hadrurus spadix has 4. These long hairs can be found starting at the joint of the movable finger and extend out a bit onto the fixed finger. The one "missing" on H. spadix is the second trichobothrium from the joint. Look at page 567 of Gertsch & Soleglad, 1972, "Studies of North American Scorpions of the genera Uroctonus and Vejovis (Scorpionida, Vejovidae)".

If you can, take a look and see, you shouldn't need a microscope. After that, I or someone else can move these to the right place.

Cool find!

I actually think this is Hadrurus arizonensis obscurus which is known from the exact road we found it on. :)

I would suspect Hadrurus spadix. I was surprised (growing up in the Pacific Northwest) to learn that species occurs in eastern Oregon....
