EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph showcases two extinct bivalve mollusk species, Pholadomya murchisoni and Terebratula omalogastrea, 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 fossils and palaeontology to both specialists and general readers. The Pholadomya murchisoni, also known as the "Murchison's Pholadomya," was a large, thick-shelled bivalve that lived during the Miocene epoch. Its shell was characterized by a distinctive, elongated shape and a series of radial ribs. This species is named after Sir Roderick Murchison, a prominent Scottish geologist and president of the Geological Society of London. The Terebratula omalogastrea, or "Omalogastrid Terebratula," was a similarly large bivalve with a more rounded, oval shell. It is identified by its distinctive, wavy, sinuous lines that encircle the shell. This species is also known as Terebratula resupinata and Terebratula perovalis, depending on the source. The Terebratula theodori, another extinct bivalve species, is also depicted in the lithograph. It had a large, elongated, and asymmetrical shell, with a distinctively pointed posterior end. This species is named after the French paleontologist Alcide d'Orbigny, who described it in 1842. This beautiful and intricately detailed lithograph is a testament to the scientific curiosity and artistic skill of the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the rich history of fossil discovery and the importance of preserving and studying our planet's geological past.
