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 delicate insects in the world is a fossil Dragonfly. This specimen has the head, body, and fragile legs nicely intact. The textbook large eyes, segmented abdomen, and remains of the wings are easily seen. The overall detail of the Dragonfly is exceptional, and the natural color and contrast are quite striking. This is very rare fossil Dragonfly, exquisitely preserved in the Green River Shale.
