EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph showcases three extinct species of Ammonites: Ammonites amaltheus, A. gibbosus, and A. ziphus. The image is taken from Dr. F.A. Schmidt's Petrefactenbuch, published in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1855 by Verlag von Krais & Hoffmann. Dr. Schmidt's Book of Petrification was a groundbreaking work that introduced both specialists and general readers to the fascinating world of fossils and palaeontology. Ammonites are an extinct group of cephalopods, characterized by their distinctive spiral shells. The Ammonites amaltheus, A. gibbosus, and A. ziphus are all represented in this illustration, showcasing their unique and intricate shell patterns. The Ammonites amaltheus, with its smooth, rounded lobes and delicate ribbing, is depicted at the center of the image. To the left, the Ammonites gibbosus is shown with its more angular, ribbed shell, while the Ammonites ziphus, with its deeply grooved and ridged shell, is illustrated on the right. This beautiful and historically significant lithograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of palaeontology and the early scientific understanding of fossils. The intricate handcoloring adds to the visual appeal, making this a stunning addition to any collection of natural history or scientific art.
