.46" Detailed Partial Fossil Insect - Cereste, France

This is a shale plate containing a .46" unidentified partial fossil insect collected from an Oligocene-aged shale deposit near Cereste in southern France. Both impressions are included on the plate, and the specimen includes an acrylic display stand.

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.
