EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph is an exquisite illustration from Dr. F.A. Schmidt's 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. The image showcases an impressive array of extinct bivalves, or clams and mussels, which once thrived on land and in ancient seas. The bivalves depicted in this illustration include the Plagiostoma hermanni, Giganteum, Unio, Concinnum, Clam, Astarte elegans, Helicina expansa, and others. The Plagiostoma hermanni, also known as the "devil's toenail," is a peculiar bivalve with a unique, fan-shaped shell. The Giganteum, as its name suggests, is a large, extinct clam, while the Unio and Concinnum are freshwater mussels. The Astarte elegans, a beautiful marine bivalve, is adorned with intricate patterns and ridges. The Helicina expansa, a land snail with a distinctive spiral shell, is also illustrated, adding to the diversity of this image. The meticulous handcoloring brings the fossils to life, making it an essential addition to any palaeontology collection or scientific study. Dr. Schmidt's Petrefactenbuch was a significant contribution to the history of palaeontology, providing a detailed record of the fossilized remains of these extinct organisms and shedding light on the Earth's geological past.
