Dragonflies – The insect icons from Solnhofen<\/span><\/h2>\n

Dragonflies (Odonata) are among the most spectacular and sought-after fossils from the world-famous Solnhofen limestones (Upper Jurassic, approx. 150 million years old). As “gems of palaeo-entomology”, they embody an anatomical perfection that has hardly changed over millions of years. <\/span><\/p>\n
