EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph, titled "Geology and Paleontology" from the Natural History works of Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert, showcases a captivating collection of fossilized skeletons of extinct dinosaurs and mammals. The intricately detailed illustration, published by Schreiber in Munich in 1886, offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of prehistoric life. The dinosaur fossils depicted include those of a Theropod, specifically a Compsognathus longipes, with its distinctive long legs and small size. Another theropod, possibly a Velociraptor, is also visible in the lower left corner. The Pterosaur, represented by a Pterodactylus crassirostris, is depicted with its wings spread wide, showcasing its unique flying apparatus. The mammal fossils displayed in this illustration include the Archaeopteryx lithographica, a transitional fossil between reptiles and birds, with its feathers and bony structures. The Amphitherium prevosti and Phascolotherium bucklandi are also represented, offering a glimpse into the early evolution of mammals. The illustration also features various minerals and geological formations, emphasizing the interconnectedness of mineralogy and paleontology. Dr. Fr. Rolles, the curator of the Geology and Paleontology section at the time, likely oversaw the creation of this masterpiece, which continues to captivate and inspire scientists and enthusiasts alike more than a century later.
