The newly found species was said to be very similar to fossils found in the Isle of Wight in southern Englandand in Germany dating from the same period.
“We don’t have any [fossils of] workers from this new species, we only have a queen,” Bruce Archibald fromSimon Fraser University in British Columbia reportedly said.
“It would have been very impressive – the one in Germany was estimated to have a body weighing as much as a wren, and this would have been of similar size,” Archibald was quoted saying by the BBC News.
It was reported that the fossils were unearthed in an ancient lake sediments in Wyoming.
