EDITORS COMMENTS
Ammonitida: A Glimpse into the Ancient Ocean's Dwelling Places This chromolithograph, created by Adolf Glitsch from an illustration by Ernst Haeckel in 1904, showcases an enchanting array of Ammonitida, an order of extinct fossil cephalopods characterized by their distinctive, spiral-shaped shells. The intricately detailed image invites us to explore the rich marine history of the past. The Ammonitida assemblage depicted here includes various species: Cardioceras cordatum (1, 2), Schloenbachia varians (3, 4), Ptychites opulentus (5, 6), Douvilleiceras mammillatum (7), Puzosia planulatus (8), Amaltheus margaritatus (9), and Stephanoceras humphriesianum (10). Each species displays unique shell morphologies, providing a testament to the incredible diversity of life that once thrived in the ancient oceans. Cardioceras cordatum, with its heart-shaped sutures, is a striking example of the intricacy and beauty found in these fossilized creatures. Schloenbachia varians, with its delicate, wavy ribbing, contrasts the bold, angular patterns of Ptychites opulentus. Douvilleiceras mammillatum, Puzosia planulatus, Amaltheus margaritatus, and Stephanoceras humphriesianum each exhibit their unique characteristics, adding to the overall diversity and complexity of this fascinating collection. This stunning artwork, a product of the Art Forms in Nature series by Ernst Haeckel, serves as a reminder of the wonders that lie hidden within the Earth's geological past. It invites us to ponder the intricacies of life's evolution and the vast, mysterious depths of our planet's ancient oceans.
