EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph showcases three extinct gastropod species: Ammonites torulosus, Trigonia navis, and Venus trigonellaris. The image is taken 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 the specialist and general reader to the fascinating world of fossils and palaeontology. The Ammonite, represented here by the species A. torulosus, is an iconic fossil characterized by its spiral shell. This extinct group of cephalopods lived during the Mesozoic Era, around 200 million to 66 million years ago. The intricately detailed Ammonite in this print displays the distinctive ribbing and knobbed surface of A. torulosus. Trigonia navis and Venus trigonellaris are both extinct species of bivalve mollusks, commonly known as clams. Trigonia navis, depicted with a flat, elongated shape and a prominent hinge line, was a marine inhabitant that lived during the Carboniferous and Permian periods, around 350 to 250 million years ago. Venus trigonellaris, with its trigonal shape and radiating ribs, is a beautiful example of the intricate patterns found in some extinct bivalves. It lived during the Cretaceous period, around 145 to 66 million years ago. This stunning lithograph, with its vibrant colors and meticulous detail, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Earth's biosphere and the diverse array of life that has come and gone over millions of years. Dr. Schmidt's Petrefactenbuch remains an important historical record of the early days of palaeontology and a testament to the enduring fascination with the natural world.
