EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph, titled "Cystoidea," is an exquisite illustration of various extinct cystoid echinoderms, showcasing their unique and intricate structures. Cystoids, also known as Cystoidea, were a group of fossil echinoderms that lived during the Ordovician and Silurian periods, around 488 to 416 million years ago. They were characterized by their complex, globular test structures, which were covered in tiny calcareous spicules. The illustration features a diverse array of cystoid species, including Staurocystis quadrifasciata (1), Glyptosphaerites leuchtenbergi (2), Protocrinites fragum (3), Cystoblastus leuchtenbergi (4, 5), Pseudocrinites bifasciatus (6), Echinoencrinites angulosus (7), Callocystites jewetti (8), Hemicosmites extraneus (9), Glyptocystites multiporus (10), several unidentified Glyptocystites species (11), Cheirocrinus species (12), Caryocrinites ornatus (13), Agelacrinites hamiltonensis (14), and Streptaster vorticellatus (15). Each species displays distinct morphological features, from the quadrifid arms of Staurocystis to the complex, branching structures of Cheirocrinus and Hemicosmites. This image was created by Adolf Glitsch from an original illustration by Ernst Haeckel, a renowned German naturalist and artist, for his groundbreaking work "Art Forms in Nature," published in Leipzig, Germany, in 1904. The illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the rich diversity of ancient marine life and the intricate beauty of the natural world.
