This is a dragonfly from the Crato Formation, which is located in northeastern Brazil. It is known for its well preserved and diverse marine fossils, including approximately 25 species of fossil fishes that are allowing paleontologists to study predator/prey relationships in the area. There have been examples of pterosaurs, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, and a new maniraptor dinosaur found in this area.
After collecting fossils as a hobby for many years growing up, Dave Douglass opened Dave's Down to Earth Rock Shop in 1970 at the age of 20 (with the help of his parents) at 1312 Chicago Avenue in Evanston, Illinois. The shop contained minerals and fossils, mostly self-collected by the Douglass family.
