Dragonfly (Cymatophlebia longialata) Solnhofen, Germany, Jurassic with dendrites around plate edge specimen 12cm.; 5ins by 19cm.; 7½ins Solnhofen in Germany is one of the most famous and important fossil localities in the world, and it is from here that the celebrated Archaeopteryx (the first known bird) was found. The quarries around Solnhofen were originally mined for the beautiful lithographic slate they contained and the process of lithography was invented using this stone. While digging, the quarrymen often came across the remains of a variety of different creatures perfectly preserved in the rock. Small dinosaurs, crocodiles, pterosaurs, plants, sea urchins, fish and sometimes - although very rarely - even insects, like the dragonfly offered here.
