EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, created by Fournier based on an original illustration by Oudart for Charles d'Orbigny's Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle (Universal Dictionary of Natural History), published in Paris in 1849, showcases two fascinating extinct fish species from the Eocene epoch. The first fish, Acanthonemus filamentosus, was a nektonic omnivore, meaning it lived in the open waters and consumed both plants and animals. With its elongated, slender body and numerous bony plates covering its skin, Acanthonemus was a well-adapted swimmer in its ancient aquatic environment. The second fish depicted in this image is Semiophorus volifer, characterized by its large, impressive dorsal fin. This fish species was also an inhabitant of the Eocene seas, and its large dorsal fin suggests that it was a strong and agile swimmer. Semiophorus likely fed on a variety of prey, using its powerful fins to maneuver through the water in pursuit of its quarry. The intricate details of these extinct fish, captured in this 19th-century engraving, offer a glimpse into the rich diversity of life that once inhabited our planet's oceans. Their preservation in the fossil record serves as a reminder of the ever-changing natural world and the importance of documenting and studying the wonders of the natural world, both present and past.
