Description: This fine example shows a beetle in a rare association with a fossil flower. The Green River Formation deposits of Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah are best known for their immaculately-preserved fish, but other examples are known as well, as this specimen attests. Notice the detail to the flower. Flowers are relatively uncommon specimens, and highly-prized by collectors. Here's an opportunity to pick up an association piece for less than the flower typically would cost.
