EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "Geology and Paleontology" from the Natural History section of Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert's work, published by Dr. Adolph Kenngott in Munich in 1886, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of extinct species through the intricately detailed illustrations of their fossilized skeletons. The image showcases an impressive array of extinct creatures, including the Cuvierimoparisiensis and Vespertilioparisiensis bats, both of which are extinct flying mammals that once inhabited Europe during the Eocene epoch. The presence of aquatic carnivores, such as the Basilosaurus cetoides and Zeuglodon cetoides, suggests a thriving marine ecosystem. Among the terrestrial creatures, the Giraffid, represented by Sivatherium giganteum, is depicted with its elongated neck, while the American Mastodon, Mammut americanum, and Mastodon giganteum, are shown with their massive size and distinctive tusks. The inclusion of a bird, Dasornis stolipacensis, and two fish-like creatures, Odontopteryx toliapicus and Palaeotherium magnum, further highlights the diverse range of life that once existed. The illustration also features the Anoplotherium commune, a large herbivorous mammal, and the Hipparion gracile, an early horse species. This historical document not only serves as a testament to the richness of the Earth's geological past but also as a reminder of the continuous evolution and transformation of life on our planet. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant colors of the chromolithograph make it a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or paleontology.
