EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration by Hugo Wolff-Maage, from Wilhelm Bolsche's seminal work "Prehistoric Life" published in 1932, offers a vivid reconstruction of the rich marine life that flourished during the Cambrian era, around 541 to 485 million years ago. The illustration showcases a diverse array of extinct marine organisms that once inhabited the Earth's oceans during this pivotal period in the planet's biosphere. The upper portion of the image depicts the Northern Hemisphere with the North American and European continents, the Indonesian peninsula, and the Tethys Ocean. Swimming in these ancient waters are a myriad of creatures, including crinoids or sea lilies, with their elegant arms extended, filtering food from the water. Jellyfish, with their delicate, translucent bodies, drift gracefully through the water, while horseshoe crabs, with their distinctive horseshoe-shaped bodies and pincer-like limbs, scuttle along the seafloor. The lower portion of the image represents the Southern Hemisphere, featuring the Shetland Strait and the Atlantic and Antarctic Oceans. Here, a diverse array of marine life thrived, including various mollusks, echinoderms, and other invertebrates. The illustration's vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the wonders of the Cambrian era, a time when the first complex multicellular organisms appeared on Earth and paved the way for the development of more complex life forms, such as fish, amphibians, and eventually, dinosaurs. This illustration is a testament to the rich history of zoology and paleontology, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of prehistoric marine life and the evolution of our planet's biosphere.
