The Permian Insect Fossils of Elmo, Kansas
by Roy J. Beckemeyer

Permian Insect Fossils of Elmo, KS Index of Images

Fig. 11. A full-sized image of a hind-wing of Megatypus schucherti Tillyard 1924. This fossil is in the Kansas State University Entomology Dept. Collection. Scanned by Roy Beckemeyer with the permission of Dr. Ralph Charlton of KSU. This 19.5 cm wing, found by two KSU entomology students, Otto Winger and Floyd Holmes in 1939, is one of the most complete Protodonata wings ever found - nearly all the venation is clear and well-preserved.
