Here is an exciting specimen of a fossil insect. This is a large Mayfly, Heptagenia sp., from the Upper Jurassic of China. This HUGE insect (over four and a half inches wide!) displays the head, segmented body and all four wings in wonderful fashion. The spike at the end of the thick body is intact and the venation of the wings can be seen. The insect has great color and contrast and is well centered on the rounded plate of matrix. This is a very displayable specimen of this unusual insect from the Jurassic of China.
