EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph, titled "Fossilien der ausgestorbenen Cephalopoden und Ammonoideen" (Fossils of extinct cephalopods and ammonoids), is an exquisite illustration 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 illustration showcases an array of intricately detailed fossils of extinct cephalopods and ammonoids. Cephalopods are a diverse group of mollusks that includes living species such as squids, octopuses, and cuttlefish, as well as their extinct relatives. Ammonoids, a subclass of cephalopods, are characterized by their distinctive, spiral shells. The fossils depicted in this lithograph include various species of orthoceratites, regularis spirula, nodosa clymenia, undulata bellerophon, striatus gyroceratites, gracilis conoceras, angulosus cyrtocera, and depressa. Each fossil is meticulously rendered in handcolored detail, revealing the intricate patterns and textures of their ancient shells. The historical significance of this lithograph lies in its role as a visual record of the discoveries made in the field of palaeontology during the mid-19th century. Dr. Schmidt's Petrefactenbuch was an important contribution to the growing body of knowledge about the natural world, and this illustration offers a glimpse into the scientific curiosity and exploration that characterized the era. Today, this lithograph serves as a reminder of the rich history of fossil discovery and the ongoing fascination with the ancient creatures that once inhabited our planet.
