This is a very unusual fossil insect. It is a fine Grasshopper from the Cretaceous of Brazil. The insect is very well defined and exhibits excellent detail - the head, body, wings, and long legs of the Grasshopper are easily seen. The dark-brown color of the insect contrasts beautifully with the light-colored matrix. The fossil is well showcased on the somewhat rectangular plate of matrix. This is a great example of a rare fossil Grasshopper from the Cretaceous.
