  1. Has this Libellula doris larva, from the Tortonian of Italy been painted on, heavily restored, or is it unrestored? Thanks in advance for any guidance Othniel
  2. Another day of great finds in Saskatoon! This time, some trace fossils. With my wonderful collaboration with the University of Saskatchewan's Museum of Natural Sciences still continuing, recently I have been very lucky to make multiple trips out to a beautiful site just outside the city of Saskatoon where massive deposits of glacial lake silt are exposed. This silt produces pristine grass and other plant fossils in abundance (I'd like to make a post about them soon as well), but also seems to be teeming with various invertebrate trace fossils. All are very small (under 1 centimetre wide). I've attached some of my best pictures below. 1 - 6: Overlapping Planolites sp. closeups 7 - 11: Edaphichnium sp. 12 - 14: Taenidium sp. closeups 15 - 16: Taenidium sp. wide shots 17: Taenidium sp. closeup

    Caddisfly Larva?

    Hi again everyone! I have a small fossil from a unit of lacustrine laminated silt from here in Saskatoon from the very late Pleistocene or early Holocene. The unit directly overlays a unit of till from the Wisconsinan glaciation. The unit contains carbonized plants stems, some of which are filled with wood boring beetle larva frass, diatoms, and burrows similar to Cruziana. In one of these hollowed-out burrows, I found this fossil, which is approximately 0.5 mm in length. It is composed of many extremely small carbonized plant fragments, all arranged horizontally from longest to shortest. I have no suggestions to explain how such an arrangement could occur through abiotic means, and the fossil bears a striking resemblance to caddisfly larva cases, many of which are composed of plant fragment arranged horizontally. I have attached some photos taken through a microscope lens on an iPhone. In hopes of accounting for the rough image quality, I have included numerous angles and degrees of brightness to help illuminate the arrangement of plant fragments. Any help confirming the caddisfly diagnosis or directing me from my incorrect guess to a correct one would be greatly appreciated!

    Green River Formation Larva?

    Hello all, Need help ID this insect larva from the Eocene Green River Formation of Colorado. It's 1.5cm long, about 2cm if outstretched. As far as I can tell it has a series of large, bulbous protrusions spiraling along the length of its body, and one end has a sharp taper/point, though I'm not sure if that's the head or tail end. It has a very distinctive look so I feel like it would be recognizable if it's something that's been described before. Any help appreciated, thanks.
  5. A rather strange insect from the Florissant Formation of Colorado, looks like a larva or some sort of soft bodied insect. The first piece, in better condition: And the second piece: I can definitely see segments and it seems to be a close match to this Tipula hepialina (crane fly) pupa from the iDigPaleo system: Do you guys think it fits? Thanks in advance!
  6. Lamprey Larva were thought to represent an analogue of the earliest chordates. These floppy filter feeding filaments turn out to be a more modern development since fossils of Lamprey Larva show them more like tiny, blood sucking adults. https://scitechdaily.com/fossilized-fish-larvae-discovery-challenges-long-accepted-theory-of-vertebrate-origin/amp/
  7. Went up to Douglas Pass, Colorado today for a hike with my wife. I have always hunted for fossils at the Radar Dome location. Today we decided to scout around for another location to collect. Hiked up a very steep hill to a shale exposure and found this larvae after only 1 minute of looking. We had not come prepared today to collect anything. Will probably head back up next weekend. The larvae is approx 2.25 cm across. There are also some parts of other larvae on the piece.

    Agnostid or larva?

    Hello again, still going back through my neglected trilobites. This one I had labeled in my mind as Elrathia+ Agnostid fragment. After learning a little more about trilobite ontogeny (https://www.trilobites.info/ontogeny.htm) I wonder if the partial agnostid may rather be a larva of Elrathia? Or can I rule that out by size? I hope the "adult" is sufficient for scale comparison. The more you learn the less you know. Best Regards, J

    Insects from Liaoning, China

    From the album: Fossildude's Purchased/Gift Fossils

    Some insects from Liaoning China. A nymph of a Mayfly? (Ephemeroptera) perhaps. Also, a backswimmer (water boatman)- unnoticed by me until received. One unidentified possible insect, and multiple conchostrachans. From the Early Cretaceous. Yixian Formation, Huangbangi Valley Beipiao, Liaoning Province of China.
