Odonata sp. , Jurassic; Solnhofen, GER

A well-preserved fish of the species Pholidophorus sp. from the famous Solnhofen fossil site!The Solnhofen Sea was a series of lagoons in southern Germany that cyclically evaporated, becoming highly saline and oxygen-deprived. As a result, all life within them perished and was completely buried. This, of course, also included washed-in plants and their decomposers.Age: Upper Jurassic, Lower Tithonian, Malm Zeta;Locality: Solnhofen, GermanySize of the Fish: approx. 18 cm Matrix: approx. 26.5 x 30 x 5 cmColors in product photos may differ from those of the original specimen for technical reasons.

A beautiful specimen of the species: Chresmoda obscura!Age: Upper Jurassic, Lower Tithonian, Malm Zeta;Locality: Solnhofen, GermanySize: Insect: approx. 13 x 16 cm; Matrix: approx. 30 x 33.5 x 3 cmChresmoda are large, enigmatic insects with very long, specialized legs that are likely adapted to glide across the water’s surface, much like water striders. They can reach a body length of about 25 millimeters, with a forewing length of about 28 millimeters. Some large specimens could reach a size of about 19 centimeters.These Polyneoptera, whose taxonomic classification is uncertain, were considered aquatic and lived on the water’s surface, where they likely hunted small nektonic animals.They lived during the Cretaceous period in Brazil, China, Lebanon, Spain, the United Kingdom, Mongolia, and Myanmar, as well as during the Late Jurassic in Germany, spanning the period from 150.8 to 93.5 Ma, from the Tithonian to the Cenomanian. While most species are known as compression fossils, Chresmoda chikuni is known from well-preserved three-dimensional specimens in amber.Colors in product photos may differ from those of the original specimen for technical reasons.

Its remains are known from the Solnhofen limestone. It reached a length of about 10 cm (3.9 inches) and may have fed on particles on the seafloor. It became extinct sometime after the Late Jurassic, which ended about 145 million years ago (Ma). The records do not specify a precise date for the extinction of the genus Eryon itself; they merely indicate that its existence is limited to fossil finds from the Late Jurassic.Colors in product photos may differ from those of the original specimen for technical reasons.
