EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored lithograph is an enchanting glimpse into the past, taken from Dr. F.A. Schmidts Petrefactenbuch, published in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1855 by Verlag von Krais & Hoffmann. Dr. Schmidt's Book of Petrification was a groundbreaking work that introduced both specialists and general readers to the fascinating world of fossils and palaeontology. At the heart of this image lies the smooth clam Cytheria chione, a delicate marine mollusk that lived during the Miocene epoch, around 15-23 million years ago. Its perfectly preserved shell, with its intricate ribbing and smooth surface, is a testament to the remarkable preservation capabilities of the earth's geological past. Accompanying the Cytheria chione are two other fascinating fossils. The sea snail Turitella scalata, with its distinctive spiral shell, is also depicted, adding to the rich biodiversity of the scene. The presence of shark teeth adds an intriguing element, hinting at the prehistoric marine ecosystem in which these creatures once thrived. The intricate details of the lithograph, from the delicate lines of the shells to the sharp edges of the shark teeth, are a testament to the skill of the artist and the advanced techniques of the time. This beautiful and historically significant print invites us to explore the wonders of the natural world and the vast expanse of time that lies beneath our feet.
