EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 42 from Mineralogie Volume 1 (1790) presents a captivating image of a unique collection of ammonites, showcasing the diverse range of calcite crystals found within their intricately formed shells. This historic illustration, taken from the comprehensive work "Recueil complet de Mineralogie" (Complete Collection of Mineralogy) by F.L. Swebach Desfontaines, offers a glimpse into the natural world of the late 18th century. The plate, titled "Coupe de la corne d'ammonites, dont chacune des casques renferme une variete particulière du Spath calcaire" (Section through the horn of ammonites, each casque containing a particular variety of calcite spath), displays an array of ammonites, a type of invertebrate that lived during the Mesozoic Era. These fascinating creatures are represented in various stages of growth, with their distinctive spiral shells encasing an array of calcite crystals. The calcite crystals, a type of carbonate mineral, are highlighted in this illustration, providing a stunning visual representation of the mineralogical composition of these ancient mollusks. The Ammonoidea, a subclass of the Cephalopoda, are well-known for their beautiful and complex shells, which have long been a source of fascination for mineralogists, geologists, and natural historians. This illustration, created in 1790 by F.L. Swebach Desfontaines, is a testament to the scientific curiosity and exploration of the natural world during the 18th century. It is an important historical document, offering a unique perspective on the study of mineralogy and the natural history of the ammonites. The intricate details and precise observations captured in this image continue to captivate and inspire researchers and enthusiasts alike, making it a valuable addition to any collection of mineralogical or geological illustrations.
