Fossildude19 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 It's real. Possibly a stonefly.

Miocene_Mason Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 It's real, I tried to buy one but my bid of .99$ didn't go very far sorry I can't help with an ID, it's a nice bug though! “...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...

FossilDAWG Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 It's impossible to be certain of the ID without seeing any of the wings, and without a very clear close-up of the head. However, the overall aspect suggests a crane fly (Tipulidae), but this ID is far from certain. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBrewer Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 $5 seems a great deal. I want some at that price. John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
