<B>FOSSIL GRASSHOPPER</B></I><BR> <I>Pycnophlebia robusta<BR>Jurassic<BR>Solnhofen, Germany</B></I><BR>The fine-grained lithographic limestone of Solnhofen in Bavaria is home to some of the finest insect fossils to be found anywhere in the world, the delicate process of preservation being ideally suited to these most delicate of creatures. That said, many of the insects found there look like giant relatives of their modern day equivalents, and this winged grasshopper is no exception, measuring 4 inches long with a pair of antennae that are actually longer than its body. With typical skill, the Solnhofen preparators have rendered the ghostly image of the insect slightly proud from its matrix, which measures 12½ x 9¼ inches.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Requires 3rd Party Shipping (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
