Fossil Friday #81: Mazon Creek Roachoid

This is the “Fossil Friday” post #81.  Expect this to be a somewhat regular feature of the website.  We will post any fossil pictures you send in to esconi.info@gmail.com.  Please include a short description or story.  Check the #FossilFriday Twitter hash tag for contributions from around the world!


For this week’s Fossil Friday, we have a beautiful Mazon Creek roachoid.  This stunning specimen comes from ESCONI member Ralph Jewell.  Insects are rare in the Mazon Creek fossil biota.  For more information, see Mazon Monday #46, where we discussed roachoids. 

This one is very nice!  Thanks for sharing, Ralph!
