.51" Fossil Insect (Odonata) Larva - Bois d’Asson, France

This is a large, .51" wide insect (order Odonata) larva fossil, collected from the Oligocene-aged deposits of Bois d'Asson, France. It's fairly detailed, but the preservation is faint. A sealant has been placed on the shale where the insect is to help bring out the detail.

It comes with 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.
