This is a very nice specimen of Ephermeropsis sp., a Mayfly larva, from the Jurassic of China. This distinct fossil larva exhibits very fine detail. The head, segmented body, and pronged tail are all easily seen. Even the LONG appendages on the body are quite evident. The Mayfly larva has wonderful color and contrast and is well positioned on the natural plate of matrix. This is an excellent example of Ephermeropsis from the time of the dinosaurs.
