EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph, titled "Fossil Fern, Nothosaurus Tooth and Vertebra," is an exquisite illustration from Dr. F.A. Schmidts Petrefactenbuch, published in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1855 by Verlag von Krais & Hoffmann. Dr. Schmidts Book of Petrification was a groundbreaking publication that introduced both the specialist and general reader to the fascinating world of fossils and palaeontology. The centerpiece of this illustration is a beautifully preserved fern frond, a testament to the ancient ecosystems that once thrived on Earth. Surrounding the fern are various fossilized remains from the Mesozoic Era, a time when dinosaurs ruled the land and sea. Among these fascinating finds are a Nothosaurus tooth and vertebra. Nothosaurus was a marine reptile that lived approximately 210 to 193 million years ago. Its elongated snout and paddle-like limbs were adapted for swimming in the shallow waters of the ancient seas. The tooth and vertebra provide valuable insights into the anatomy and diet of this enigmatic creature. Another intriguing fossil depicted in the lithograph is the Dracorex tooth. Although now considered a synonym of the Pterodactylus antiquus, the Dracorex tooth was once believed to belong to a dragon-like dinosaur. The tooth's unique serrations and size fueled the imagination of early palaeontologists and contributed to the popularization of dinosaurs in the public consciousness. Additionally, the illustration showcases various fish fossils, including the gyrolepis, psamodus, hybodus, saurichtys, and acrodus. These ancient fish species provide essential information about the marine environments that existed during the Mesozoic Era. The intricate handcoloring of this lithograph adds an extra layer of beauty and detail, making it a stunning example of the artistic and scientific achievements of the 19th century.
