Libellula doris larva
Othniel C. Marsh posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
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 -
Tonight I was looking thru a few fossils and came across this piece that I had received from my fossil mentor Walter Lietz. This was a concretion that he had found and split open in August of 1987, from Pit 11.. Walter knowing it was something, he put it off to the side and 2 months later (10-87), he gave it to a friend of his, Paleoentomologist Dr. Jarmilla Kukalova’-Peck from Carleton University, Ontario. Besides studying insects, she was also known to draw the pieces that she was studying. Dr. Peck returned the fossil to Walter on 3-31-88, along with a nice drawing, identifying it as a Megascoptera nymph. Below are pics of the fossil and a copy of the drawing. I wanted to post this to show amateur fossil collectors can work with professionals.

Final got to a Green River fossil that once exposed looks very much like a insect body or insect nymph. Would anybody out there be able to point me in the right direction as to what it actually is?
