DRAGONFLY (with its pair)

Age: 150 million years

Period: Jurassic

Location: Solnhofen Formation, Germany

With their complex structures, dragonflies have constituted a model for new types of
Sikorsky helicopters. Research showed that this insect possesses an ideal flying system. This
dragonfly, which lived 150 million years ago, is identical to the perfectly formed dragonflies
alive today. There are no traces of a "half dragonfly" or a dragonfly whose wings are just be-
coming established among all the fossils unearthed so far. Like other species of animals and
plants alike, these creatures emerged suddenly and have remained unchanged down to the

present day.
