This is an extremely rare fossil insect. It is a very detailed Dragonfly from the Green River Formation of Utah. Ground-dwelling insects are relatively common fossils, and flying insects are also occasionally unearthed. But one of the rarest and most sought-after insects in the world is a fossil dragonfly. Some locations, such as Germany and Brazil, occasionally produce a dragonfly fossil. But a fossil dragonfly from the Green River Formation is a true rarity! This specimen has the head, body, and tail fully intact. The textbook large eyes and segmented abdomen are easily seen - even the legs are preserved! The overall detail of the dragonfly is exceptional, and the natural color and contrast are quite striking. This is very rare fossil dragonfly, one of the few dragonflies ever found in the Green River Formation.
