EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph, titled "Extinct Fossil Gastropods: Ammonites Humphreysianus, Trigonia Costata, and Avicula Elegans," is an exquisite illustration from Dr. F.A. Schmidt's seminal work, "Petrefactenbuch," published in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1855 by Verlag von Krais & Hoffmann. Dr. Schmidt's groundbreaking book on petrification was instrumental in popularizing the study of fossils and palaeontology among both specialists and the general public. The illustration showcases three extinct gastropod species: Ammonites Humphreysianus, Trigonia Costata, and Avicula Elegans. The Ammonites Humphreysianus, with its distinctive double-helix shell, was a cephalopod that thrived during the Late Jurassic period. The Trigonia Costata, a large, conical shelled clam, inhabited the shallow waters of the ancient seas during the Triassic and Jurassic eras. Lastly, the Avicula Elegans, a small, pear-shaped mussel, is represented in its beautifully intricate detail. The intricate handcoloring of this lithograph brings the fossils to life, revealing the exquisite patterns and textures of these ancient organisms. The meticulous attention to detail and the scientific accuracy of the illustrations in Dr. Schmidt's "Petrefactenbuch" were unparalleled for its time, making it an invaluable resource for palaeontologists and a source of wonder for the curious public. This stunning piece of historical art and science is a testament to the enduring allure of the natural world and the importance of preserving our fossil record for future generations.
