EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of fossils from extinct sea urchins. The image features three distinct species: Echinocorys (Ananchites) 1, Galerites globulosus 2, and Nucleolites patella 3. Each fossil is meticulously handcoloured in vibrant hues, bringing them to life once again. The artwork originates from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's renowned Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), published in Florence, Italy in 1837. Carini skillfully engraved this illustration under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, a celebrated French botanical illustrator of the 19th century. Echinocorys (Ananchites) 1 exhibits an elegant oval shape with intricate patterns adorning its surface. Galerites globulosus 2 captivates with its spherical form and delicate details that hint at its former existence beneath ancient seas. Lastly, Nucleolites patella 3 boasts a unique disc-like structure that sets it apart from its counterparts. These fossils provide valuable insights into our planet's natural history and marine ecosystems long gone by. They serve as reminders of the incredible diversity that once thrived within Earth's oceans. This remarkable print not only celebrates the scientific significance of these specimens but also highlights the artistic talent behind their representation. It stands as a testament to both nature's wonders and human creativity throughout history.
