.32" Fossil True Weevil (Curculionidae) Beetle - France
This is a fossil true weevil (order Coleoptera, family Curculionidae), collected from an Oligocene-aged shale deposit near Cereste in Southern France. The weevil measures .32" wide and is beautifully detailed. Both halves of the split are present on this specimen, with one half glued to the largest slab of shale.
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.
It comes with an acrylic display stand.
