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 two fascinating fossil discoveries from the Jurassic period: the extinct Jurassic prawn, Aeger tipularius, and the dragonfly, Aeschna grandis. The intricate details of these ancient creatures are beautifully preserved in this historical print. The Jurassic prawn, Aeger tipularius, is depicted on the left side of the image. This decapod crustacean, with its ten pairs of legs, was a common inhabitant of the shallow waters of the Jurassic seas. Its fossilized remains, such as this one, provide valuable insights into the evolution of crustaceans and the ancient marine ecosystems of the past. On the right side of the image, the dragonfly, Aeschna grandis, is depicted in its prehistoric glory. This ancient dragonfly, with its large, transparent wings and elongated body, would have been a formidable presence in the Jurassic world. Its fossilized remains, like this one, offer a glimpse into the evolutionary history of insects and the diverse ecosystems that existed during the Mesozoic Era. Dr. Schmidt's Petrefactenbuch was a groundbreaking work that introduced fossils and paleontology to both the specialist and general reader. This handcolored lithograph is a testament to the beauty and intrigue of the ancient world, as well as the important role that fossils play in our understanding of Earth's history.
