Fossil Bee of an unidentified family in the Parachute Creek Member of the Green River Formation. This insect lived during Eocene time, around 50 million years ago. It was was found in the shallow lacustrine deposits of Lake Uintah, the largest of the three lakes of the Green River system. The specimen is about 1.5 cm long. Bonanza, Uintah Co., Utah.
Fossil Midge (Dixidae fam.). This insect lived during Eocene time, around 45-50 million years ago. It was was found in the shallow lacustrine deposits of Lake Uintah, the largest of the three lakes of the Green River system. The specimen is about 1.5 cm long. Bonanza, Uintah Co., Utah.
Fossil Weevil (Curculionidae) a/k/a Snout Beetle found in the Parachute Creek Member of the Green River Formation. This weevil lived during middle Eocene time, around 46 million years ago. The specimen is about 8 mm long. It was was found in the shallow lacustrine deposits of Lake Uintah, the largest of the three lakes of the Green River system. Douglas Pass. Garfield Co., Colo.
This Dragonfly fossil is housed at Museum für Naturkunde, in Berlin, Germany. Despite being Millons of years old, this dragonfly looks very similar to those flying around today, and the level of detail seen in this Fossil is quite remarkable.
This fossil sandbank was formed around 20 million years ago. It withstood the Ice Age when the Rhine valley was formed and where the power of the glaciers could not cut this plate.

The area around Erfoud in the Moroccan desert contains outcroppings of densely fossiliferous rocks from the Paleozoic. Here are some such strata exposed in the slope of a shallow wadi. There is a major commercial fossil industry here, selling everything from little ammonite keychains to architectural stone (the sink in our hotel room was carved from a single piece of this rock) to massive, painstakingly prepared display pieces.

It takes hours of polishing by hand to get a finish like this on a fossil of an Ammonite. Alternatively, there are shops on the jurassic coast in Dorset that sell them.
Ammonites are the extinct relatives of sea creatures such as the modern Nautilus from Palau. Ammonites lived during the periods of Earth history known as the Jurassic and Cretaceous. Together, these represent a time interval of about 140 million years.
Fossil Leaves. Sycamore leaf (Macginitiea wyomingensis) at top. Myrtle leaf (Myrtaceae fam.) at middle. Unidentifed leaf at bottom. Found in Parachute Creek Member of Green River Formation. Eocene period, about 45 million years ago. Douglas Pass. Garfield Co., Colo. (Collection of the Mines Museum of Earth Science. Golden, Colo.)

The process of fossilization replaces organic matter with minerals. These minerals seep into the object, harden and become fossil stone, a copy of that object that has the chemical properties of a rock.
Fossil Crane Fly. (Tipulidae fam., unidentified species). This specimen is from the Parachute Creek Member of the Green River Formation, a laminated limestone precipitated from calcium-rich waters. The limestone is interbedded with many thin layers of volcanic ash and mudstone. The unit is of Eocene age, about 45 million years old. Size of this crane flay is 2.5 cm.
