EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the mesmerizing world of the first third of the Mesozoic Era, an age teeming with awe-inspiring marine life that once graced our ancient oceans. This illustration, taken from Wilhelm Bolsche's seminal work "Das Leben der Urwelt" (Prehistoric Life), published in 1932 by Georg Dollheimer in Leipzig, offers a glimpse into the rich diversity of marine creatures that inhabited our planet before the reign of the dinosaurs. The image showcases a stunning array of extinct marine life forms, including crinoids, jellyfish, shellfish, molluscs, and various types of fish. Crinoids, also known as sea lilies, are depicted in all their ethereal beauty, with their delicate arms reaching out from the seafloor. Jellyfish, those graceful and almost translucent beings, float serenely in the water, their tentacles trailing behind them. The shells of various molluscs and bivalves are scattered across the ocean floor, a testament to their once thriving populations. Fish, both large and small, swim gracefully through the water, their scales shimmering in the sunlight that filters down from the surface. This illustration also features a tree, a reminder of the parallel evolution of life on land during this time. The tree is adorned with leaves that resemble those of the Lepidodendron, a common tree during the Carboniferous Period, providing a sense of scale and context to the marine scene. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this illustration transport us back to a time when these magnificent creatures roamed the Earth, offering a fascinating glimpse into the prehistory of our zoological and paleontological worlds.
