EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph, taken from Dr. F.A. Schmidt's Petrefactenbuch, published in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1855 by Verlag von Krais & Hoffmann, showcases an intriguing collection of extinct fossils, including the Cidarites species, Spalangus, Nudeolitus, Megalosaurus, and Gyrodus teeth. Dr. Schmidt's Book of Petrification was a groundbreaking publication that introduced both the specialist and general reader to the fascinating world of fossils and palaeontology. The Cidarites fossils depicted in this print include the Maximus, Coronatus, Subangularis, Nobilis, and Scatatus species. These ancient marine organisms, characterized by their calcareous tests, lived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. The Spalangus and Nudeolitus species, also marine invertebrates, are represented by their distinctive spiral and conical shells, respectively. Two sets of teeth from the Megalosaurus and Gyrodus are also displayed in this image. The Megalosaurus, one of the first large theropod dinosaurs discovered, roamed the Earth during the Late Jurassic period. Its serrated teeth were well-suited for tearing flesh. The Gyrodus, an ammonite, lived during the Late Cretaceous period and is identified by its distinctive, coiled shell with a distinctive, wing-like structure. This intricately detailed lithograph, handcolored by skilled artists, offers a glimpse into the rich history of palaeontology and the awe-inspiring world of ancient life forms. Dr. Schmidt's Petrefactenbuch was a testament to the scientific curiosity and artistic skill of the 19th century, and this image remains a captivating reminder of the enduring allure of the fossil record.
