EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Journey Through Time: An Exquisite Chromolithograph of Fossil Discoveries from the Jurassic Era" This chromolithograph, hailing from Dr. Fr. Rolles' Geology and Paleontology section in Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert's Natural History publication of 1886, offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of prehistoric life. The illustration showcases an impressive array of fossil discoveries from the Jurassic period, including the skeletons of various marine reptiles and dinosaurs, their teeth, skulls, and even coprolites, or fossilized excrement. At the center of the image, the skeleton of a Teleosaurus, a crocodile-like marinereptile, is depicted. Its elongated snout and powerful limbs are characteristic of this ancient creature, which inhabited the shallow waters of the Jurassic seas. Nearby, the skull of a Plesiosaurus macroccephalus, a plesiosaur known for its large head and four flipper-like limbs, is shown. Among the array of fossils, the teeth of an Ichthyosaurus communis, an ichthyosaur with a streamlined body and a dorsal fin, are also displayed. The tooth of an Iguanodon, a herbivorous dinosaur with a distinctive crest on its head, is also present. The intrigue of this chromolithograph extends beyond the fossilized bones and teeth. The presence of coprolites, or fossilized excrement, adds an element of surprise and further emphasizes the richness of the Jurassic period's fossil record. This detailed and vibrant illustration, produced by Dr. Adolph Kenngott for Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert's Natural History, offers a captivating window into the past, showcasing the diverse and intriguing world of Jurassic fossils. The mineralogy and geology of the time are also hinted at through the inclusion of various minerals and rock formations in the background, making this a truly comprehensive representation of the Jurassic era.
