Fossil Insects & Invertebrates
 In 2008, researchers at Tufts University uncovered what they believe is the world's oldest known full-body impression of a primitive flying insect, a 300 million-year-old specimen from the Carboniferous period. The oldest definitive insect fossil is the Devonian Rhyniognatha hirsti, from the 396-million-year-old Rhynie chert. It may have superficially resembled a modern-day silverfish insect. This species already possessed dicondylic mandibles (two articulations in the mandible), a feature associated with winged insects, suggesting that wings may already have evolved at this time. Thus, the first insects probably appeared earlier, in the Silurian period.  

​Four super radiations of insects have occurred: beetles (evolved about 300 million years ago), flies (evolved about 250 million years ago), and moths and wasps (evolved about 150 million years ago). These four groups account for the majority of described species. The flies and moths along with the fleas evolved from the Mecoptera.


Mazon Creek Invertebrates, Carboniferous USA
Invertebrates from Middle Pennsylvanian (Carboniferous), Francis Creek Shale, Braidwood, Illinois. USA from the famous Mazon Creek bed nodule deposits. These nodules are split open to reveal a world from 309 Million years ago.  We also offer the plant fossils found in the same beds.

March Flies from Kemmerer formation, Eocene, USA
These March Flies (Plecia pealei) are 50 Million years old, and are found in the Kemmerer Formation, Wyoming (Eocene age).  Each insect is preserved on a limestone matrix, which has been cut to size square in an attractive gem box. They have been painted with a special fossil matt varnish to protect them from dust and damage as they are delicate and on the surface, just like the fossil fishes from the same region.  These will make a really nice addition to your collection.

Green River Insect Fossils
Rare Beetle, fly larvae & Weevil fossils from Parachute Creek member, Green River Formation, Garfield County, Eocene age (48 MYO), See the photo for scale.   The insects are preserved within a fine limestone, which formed at the bottom of vast lakes.  When insects and plants died, their remains gradually sank down to the thick and murky, oxygen poor layer at the bottom of the lakes, and were preserved for eternity.
