Scientists claim the below fossil to be that of a rare mayfly.
I think they spent a couple hundred grand of their parent’s hard earned cash on beer drinking and frat parties – more, if they have a Ph.D.
Mayfly, my ass – anyone above the age of six knows that’s a stone fly.
Science. We serve it up so you can hate it all over again.

i don’t want to diassapoint you, but this certainly isn’t a stonefly nymph. sonefly nymphs have only two abdominal appendages. this fossil has three. it really is a mayfly nymph.
at least don’t make idiots from people who have the knowledge. 😉
It was a joke Pete. The nymph is encased in stone – making it a “stone fly” …
My sense of humor is always suspect at best, but I run with it just the same.
