Seguidora-de-Isis Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Due to matrix staining, I'm presuming it was discovered at Green River Formation. Right? There is something real yes: But unfortunately it was quite painted... But I can not state with absolute certainty whether what is real in this was really the remains of fossil insects. Apparently, they tried to imitate a fossil beetle, but it bad! For comparison, see a genuine fossil beetle discovered in the Green River Formation: 7 Is It real, or it's not real, that's the question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
