Description from the seller

Lizard with fossil beetle – Green River Formation (Bonanza County, USA)
Plate dimensions: 7 × 6 × 1 cm
Size of the main beetle: about 1 cm.

Small slab from the Green River Formation, Bonanza area (Utah/Colorado, USA), containing a well-preserved fossil beetle in a central position. Surrounding it are fragments of other insects, as often occurs in the finer layers of this formation and indicative of the Eocene lacustrine environment.

The matrix is stable and compact, with readable details of the insect's body (elytra, portions of the thorax, and legs). No restoration or reconstruction was performed, only standard mechanical preparation to highlight the fossil.

An ideal specimen for collectors of fossil insects and Green River material.

Tracked shipment and careful packing.
