EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph, titled "Extinct Gastropods and Mollusks: Ammonites, Scaphites, Hamites, and Turrilites," is an exquisite illustration from Dr. F.A. Schmidt's renowned publication, "Petrefactenbuch," published in Stuttgart, Germany, by Verlag von Krais & Hoffmann in 1855. Dr. Schmidt's Book of Petrification was a groundbreaking work that brought the fascinating world of fossils and palaeontology to both specialists and general readers. The illustration showcases an array of extinct gastropods and mollusks, specifically Ammonites, which are characterized by their distinctive spiral shells. The Ammonites depicted include the Rhotomagensis, Scaphites Aequalis, Scaphites Varianus, Hamites Rotundus, and Turrilites Costatus. These ancient marine organisms lived during the Mesozoic Era, around 200 million to 66 million years ago. The intricate details of the shells are beautifully rendered in this handcolored lithograph, showcasing the rich diversity and complexity of these extinct species. The vibrant colors and meticulous shading bring the fossils to life, offering a glimpse into the ancient world that once existed. This historical image not only serves as a testament to the scientific advancements of the 19th century but also as a reminder of the ever-evolving natural world and the importance of preserving and studying our planet's rich fossil record.
