Description

An exclusive look at the famed Jurassic marine fossils from Holzmaden, Germany, as only expert paleontologist, geologist, and gemologist Stefano Piccini Ph.D. can tell it. This collector’s edition features exclusive, detailed pictures of rare fossils from private collections and in-depth scientific information about the most important, unique specimens discovered. Jurassic Oceans: Holzmaden details the characteristic black “Posidonia Shale” and the wealth of fossils within. Holzmaden is most famous for its complete and articulated skeletons of large, Jurassic marine reptiles including ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, and crocodilians, even those persevered with traces of soft tissues. The shale has yielded ammonites, bivalve, belemnites, cephalopods, crustaceans, marine fish pterosaurs, dinosaurs, and plants. Accumulations of large pyritized sea lilies attached to floating driftwood logs are among the most beautiful finds in the Holzmaden shale. Dr. Piccini shares knowledge collected from a lifetime’s work and study in an approachable way, including personal memories of his own visits to Holzmaden in the preface. Paired with stunning artwork, this is a “must have” for everyone from the aspiring paleontologist to the most particular collector.
