Fossilization results from several physical-chemical-geological processes. Original labile and non-bioclastic structures rarely survive throughout this process. In particular, the Crato Formation (Araripe Basin) is one of the most significant Cretaceous KonservatLagerstätten due to its well-preserved invertebrates, mainly three-dimensional insects. In general, Crato insects exhibit brown-orange color, constituted by goethite or hematite replacements. In this context, we used the scanning electron microscopy coupled to energy dispersive spectrometer and Raman spectroscopy to analyze Araripeblatta dornellesae, a 115 million-years-old fossil from Crato Formation, Araripe Basin. Our results show that a dark-color material rather than the brown-orange pattern preserve this specimen. The carbon is restricted to the fossil imprint, indicating some retention of the original organic remains. In addition, the presence of original organic components allowed to approach the biochemical aspects further than simple morphology, as well as to elucidate the taphonomical complexity involved in this preservation style.
