Dragonfly With Amazing Wing Detail. Solnhofen Germany is famous for its beautiful dragonfly fossils, but some even more spectacular fossil dragonflies come from the 140 million year old gray mudstone Liaoning Province of China. This rare species, Sinaeschinindia cancellosa, is one of the largest and most dramatic. Perfectly positioned on a 4.75 x 3.4 inch gray mudstone matrix, this large dragonfly has a 2.75 inch long body and a wingspan of 4 inches long. This is a complete beige dragonfly with a well defined head and amazing wing detail; even most of the delicate intricate white geometric wing patterns are preserved to make this dragonfly truly special.

Add $20 for domestic shipping.
Estimated Value $950 - 1,250.
