3.4" Fossil Fly, Ant, and Snout Beetle Plate - Green River Formation

This is an association of insects from the Green River Formation in Utah. The shale contains a snout beetle (order Coleoptera), various flies (order Diptera), likely a cricket (order Othoptera), and an ant or two (order Formicidae) in addition to many other unidentified insects. Fossil insects are one of the scarcer components of the fauna at the commercial fish quarries and many of them remain unidentified.

It comes with an acrylic display stand.
