Santana/ Crato fm, Brazilian insect fossils!

The Santana formation in Brazil is a source of well preserved fish, plants, pterodactyls, insects, and other fossils. The Crato member of the Santana formation has been a source of many large well preserved lower Cretaceous insect fossils over the years.

On this page I've cataloged many of the insect fossils of the Crato member that have made their way through my collection. ID's are welcomed so that other collectors can have something to base their own Crato insects on.

Crato fossil insects are listed by order. Please notify me if I have them wrong.
