AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Rare fossil insect Libellula doris

The thin fossil plate comes from an old collection acquired about 40 years ago and likely originally originates from Italy. The geological age is upper Miocene, approximately 15-16 million years old.

There are four small insects and two leaf remnants on this plate. The insects are larvae of the extinct dragonfly species Libellula doris.
The details are very well preserved.

The dimensions of the plate (see photo) are approximately 14 cm wide by approximately 10 cm high. It is very thin, only about 3 mm, and is therefore packaged between two small wooden boards to prevent breakage during shipping.

Shipping is via DHL with tracking.
