EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph showcases two fascinating extinct marine organisms: the Ostraa pectiniformis, an extinct fossil oyster, and the Perna mytiloides, an extinct mussel. The image is taken from Dr. F.A. Schmidts Petrefactenbuch, a groundbreaking publication in the field of palaeontology that introduced fossils to both specialists and the general public. Published in Stuttgart, Germany, by Verlag von Krais & Hoffmann in 1855, Dr. Schmidt's Book of Petrification was a significant contribution to the scientific community, providing detailed illustrations and descriptions of various fossils. The lithograph, in particular, highlights the intricate details of these ancient marine organisms, with the Ostraa pectiniformis displaying its distinctive fan-shaped shell and the Perna mytiloides showcasing its elongated, pear-shaped shell. The Ostraa pectiniformis, also known as the "fan oyster," was a large, bivalve mollusk that lived during the Miocene epoch, around 15-11 million years ago. Its large, fan-shaped shell made it easily distinguishable from modern oysters and provided it with a unique advantage in its environment. The Perna mytiloides, on the other hand, was an extinct mussel species with a pear-shaped shell, resembling the modern-day Perna perna, or green mussel. This beautiful and intricately detailed lithograph not only serves as a testament to the rich history of palaeontology but also highlights the importance of preserving and studying our planet's fossil record. The extinct Ostraa pectiniformis and Perna mytiloides serve as reminders of the incredible diversity of life that has existed on Earth and the ongoing process of evolution.
