Item Description
Here we have an attractive flying insect fossil from the Florissant Formation, a sedimentary geologic formation outcropping around Florissant in Teller County, Colorado. This formation is well-known among fossil experts and collectors for it abundant and exceptionally preserved insect and plant fossils that are found in the mudstones and shales. Several books have been written about these fossils, and there are many resources online detailing the area and what has been found there. This piece is a wonderful example of said material featuring a beautifully well-preserved flying insect fossil (presumably some kind of Diptera) frozen into the mudstone matrix.
