Item Description
The Florissant Formation is a sedimentary geologic formation outcropping around Florissant in central Colorado. There you can find abundant and exceptionally well-preserved insect and plant fossils 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.
