EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving, entitled "Fossil skull of an extinct Mosasaurus from Maestricht and palates of different species of unknown fish," is an exquisite illustration from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's "Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali," published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The illustration was meticulously engraved by Carini, with drawings directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, a renowned French botanical illustrator of the 19th century. The central focus of the image is the fossilized skull of a Mosasaurus, an extinct marine reptile, discovered at Maestricht. The Mosasaurus was a massive, powerful predator, with a long, serpentine body and a large, conical snout. Its skull, as depicted in this illustration, reveals the sharp, serrated teeth and powerful jaw muscles that would have enabled it to seize and crush its prey. Surrounding the Mosasaurus skull are the palates of five different species of extinct fish. These fish, which include Echinodontes, Ananchites, Galerites, Globulosus, and Nucleolites, are depicted in cross-section, revealing the intricate structures of their palates. The presence of these fish palates in close proximity to the Mosasaurus skull suggests that they were part of the reptile's diet. The illustration also features several echinoids, or sea urchins, including Echinocorys, which are depicted in various stages of life. These echinoids, along with the fish palates, add to the overall marine theme of the image and underscore the richness and diversity of life that once inhabited Earth's ancient seas.
