Item Details
Description
FINE FOSSIL DRAGONFLY
Tharsolebia sp.
Jurassic, Tithonian stage
Solnhofen Formation, Eichstätt, Bavaria, Germany
The fine-grained lithographic limestone of Solnhofen is renowned for the exquisite state of preservation observed in its abundant fossils from the late Jurassic, 145-150 million years ago. The present specimen shows beautiful definition in the remains of an ancient dragonfly, with its impossibly delicate wings outspread, and good three-dimensionality to the slender body, 3 1/2 inches long, with a 5 inch wingspan, on a pale limestone matrix 6 3/4 x 8 inches.
