Description:
This fine example shows a cockroach frozen in profile for the past
125 million years. The deposits from which it comes are home to
many exquisitely-preserved specimens, some exceptionally 3-D in
nature. Such delicate items as the paper-thin wing bones of Pterosaurs
have been found, testimony to the type of preservation that can
be seen. This preservation is evident here as well, in the delicate
venation of the wings. Little material from this treasure trove
ever becomes available.
