EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored lithograph, titled "Ammoniten und Terebratulen-Fossilien" (Ammonites and Terebratula Fossils), is an exquisite illustration from Dr. F.A. Schmidt's "Petrefactenbuch" or "Book of Petrification," published in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1855 by Verlag von Krais & Hoffmann. The illustration showcases a diverse array of extinct marine life forms, including Ammonites such as Flexuosus, Biplex, and Difformis, as well as Terebratula and Trochus species. Dr. Schmidt's "Petrefactenbuch" was a groundbreaking work that introduced both the specialist and general reader to the fascinating world of fossils and palaeontology. The meticulously detailed illustrations, like this one, were produced using the lithographic printing process, which allowed for high-quality, accurate reproductions of the original specimens. The Ammonites depicted in this illustration are characterized by their distinctive spiral shells, which were once home to the animals' soft bodies. These cephalopods lived during the Mesozoic Era, around 200 million to 66 million years ago. The Terebratula, also known as brachidonts, are represented by their intricately patterned, conical shells. The Trochus species, a type of large, flat, spiral-shaped bivalve, is also shown. This image is a testament to the beauty and complexity of the natural world, as well as the important role that scientific illustrations played in advancing our understanding of the Earth's history. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this handcolored lithograph continue to captivate and inspire viewers over a century and a half after its publication.
