This is a fossil fly (order Diptera, family Phoridae) collected from an Oligocene-aged (Stampien/Rupelian) shale deposit at Mine de Gaude in Manosque, France. The fly has been covered by a thin sealant to highlight its detail.

This is part of an old collection that we recently acquired. The collection includes a variety of insect fossils from around Southern France, collected over a span of 50 years by a woman with PhDs in paleontology and pharmacology.
