Palaeovespa Florissantia This Exceptionally Preserved 34 Million Year Old Wasp Was Found And Identified

Palaeovespa florissantia This exceptionally preserved 34 million year old wasp was found and identified in what is today Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument in Colorado. This species is a member of the same family of life that today also contains hornets and yellow jackets. The incredible preservation of this insect is one example of the fossils found in Eocene aged lake sediments in this part of Colorado (https://tmblr.co/Zyv2Js296djPx). The area was heavily picked over for fossils prior to establishment of the National Monument and there were even attempts to establish housing developments on the site before it received protection. Today this insect is pictured in the logo of this monument and shots of it can be found around the parking lots at the site. -JBB Image credit: NPS http://bit.ly/2nYZwga References: https://www.revolvy.com/page/Vespinae http://bit.ly/2N9jn7k

smithsoniannmnh When calcium leached out from this scallop some 40 million years ago, it formed a halo that solidified the sediment around it. Unearthed in Washington state, the specimen now resides in our research collections. Happy #FossilFridayfrom our Department of Paleobiology and @SIxDIGI, who are well on their way to digitizing #1MillionFossils!
