Nimravis Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I will try to find another picture of it- I know I have a couple around the house- this is the only one that I have personally seen and cannot recall any other collector that I have been out with that has found one. But such is the case with many Mazon Creek animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 That's a great specimen, but a fair bit short of the adults I'm seeking pics of. Still, I greatly appreciate seeing that one, Its beautiful!

Miocene_Mason Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Mazon creek was a breeding area for them, which accounts for the lack of adults, and there are few place quite like it where an adult would be preserved. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
