Show Notes
A new 53 million-year-old insect fossil called a scorpionfly discovered at B.C.’s McAbee fossil bed site bears a striking resemblance to fossils of the same age from Pacific-coastal Russia, giving further evidence of an ancient Canada-Russia connection.
“We’ve seen this connection before through fossil plants and animals, but these insects show this in a beautiful way,” says Bruce Archibald, a research associate in SFU’s Department of Biological Sciences and the Royal BC Museum.
