EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored lithograph depicts the extinct crinoid fossil, Pentacrinites subangularis, from the Jurassic period. 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 specialists and general readers to the fascinating world of fossils and palaeontology. The Pentacrinites subangularis was a large and complex crinoid, with five arms arranged in a star-like pattern around a central disc. Crinoids, also known as sea lilies, were marine organisms that lived on the ocean floor, anchored to the seabed by a stalk. The Pentacrinites subangularis is believed to have inhabited the shallow waters of the Jurassic sea, feeding on plankton and other organic matter that drifted down from the surface. The intricate details of the fossil are beautifully captured in this handcolored lithograph, which showcases the exquisite preservation of the fossil's delicate structures. The use of handcoloring adds an artistic touch to the scientific illustration, making it a work of art as well as a valuable record of the natural world. Dr. Schmidt's Petrefactenbuch was an important contribution to the field of palaeontology, helping to advance our understanding of the history of life on Earth. This image of the Pentacrinites subangularis is a testament to the beauty and complexity of the fossils that have been preserved in the Earth's crust, and serves as a reminder of the rich scientific heritage that continues to inspire and intrigue us today.
