EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the extinct sarcopterygian lungfish, Ceratodus latissimus, from the mid Triassic to late Cretaceous periods. The illustration is a color print taken from Tiere der Urwelt (Animals of the Prehistoric World), published in Hamburg, Germany, in 1916. The work was created by the renowned German landscape artist and book illustrator, Heinrich Harder (1858-1935). Harder's illustration captures the unique features of Ceratodus latissimus, a creature that straddled the line between fish and amphibians. With its elongated, eel-like body and large, wing-like pectoral fins, this lungfish was well-adapted to life both in water and on land. Its name, latissimus, means "widest" in Latin, a reference to the broadness of its pectoral fins. The Ceratodus latissimus was an important transitional species in the evolution of vertebrates, bearing both gills for underwater breathing and lungs for air respiration. This adaptation allowed it to inhabit a variety of environments, from freshwater to brackish water and even terrestrial areas. Harder's illustration provides a glimpse into the rich biosphere of the past, offering a window into the world of prehistoric creatures that once roamed our planet. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the extinct lungfish to life, transporting us back in time to the Triassic and Cretaceous periods. As a testament to Harder's skill and dedication, this illustration remains an invaluable resource for researchers and enthusiasts alike, providing insights into the morphology and ecology of this fascinating extinct species.
