EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite internal cast fossil of the extinct bivalve species, Epidiceras speciosum. Discovered in the Upper Kimmeridgian rocks of Kelheim, Bavaria, Germany, this remarkable fossil hails from the Jurassic period, approximately 155 million years ago. Epidiceras speciosum, also known as Munster's Epidiceras due to its first scientific description by J.F. Blumenbach in 1835, is a member of the Hippuritoida order, within the class of Bivalvia. The name Epidiceras means "over-oyster," a fitting moniker given its distinctive, oversized, and intricately sculpted shell. Internal casts like this one are formed when the soft parts of the animal decay, leaving behind an impression of the internal shell structure in the sediment. This process preserves intricate details that would otherwise be lost to time. The steinkern cast showcases the delicate, ribbed structure of the Epidiceras speciosum's inner shell, revealing the complex anatomy of this ancient mollusk. The Epidiceras speciosum was a large, filter-feeding bivalve that thrived in shallow, warm waters. Its unique morphology and size made it a fascinating find for paleontologists and natural historians, shedding light on the diverse and intriguing world of Jurassic marine life. This fossil serves as a testament to the rich history of life on Earth and the wonders that lie hidden beneath the surface. The intricate details of the internal cast offer a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Epidiceras speciosum roamed the ancient seafloor, filtering water and contributing to the complex marine ecosystems of the Jurassic period.
