Chesapeeker Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Ok. So, apparently I need my eyes examined... Thanks, everyone. Maybe I'll have better luck with invertebrates. I'll post more photos separately, but here's a preview: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chesapeeker Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 Friends- Thanks for your patience with my last couple of posts, these concretions are a carnival ride. I collected this delicate little (9mm) winged insect in 2010 at the Mazonia-Braidwood South Unit. Any thoughts on what ballpark I should be looking in for an ID? Some kind of damselfly, maybe? (Is it possibly newly-hatched with uninflated wings?) I appreciate your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kmiecik Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Hard call to make from a photo. Can you see any wing venation under 10x or 20x magnification? Any legs? Distinct body segments? From the photo, the best I see is a poorly preserved Cyclus. 3 Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Yes, I answered this on your other thread. It's a Cyclus americanus. 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
