Text Appearing Before Image: This butterfly (Nymphaliks scudderi) lived a million years ago. Florissant is especially rich in flowers and flower-visiting insects, and is the only locality in the New World where fossil butterflies are found. Some of these show the wing markings very perfectly Text Appearing After Image: Roses, leaves, firiis, grasses, even fungi and mosses, are among the smaller fossil plants found at Florissant, and flowers are abundant. This one (Parana lenuis [now Chaneya tenuis]) belongs to a type now found in Asia but wholly absent in America, and the finding of such Old World forms suggests that land was, or recently had been at the time the shales were laid down, continuous between Asia and America 448
