12479 Albert de Grossouvre (1849–1932) – Studies of Ammonite Fossils – Lithograph (1894)
"Pl. XXXVIII". This lithograph displays a group of four scientific illustrations featuring fossilized ammonite specimens. The figures show various perspectives of the extinct cephalopods, including lateral views that highlight the deep, radiating ribs and prominent umbilical centers, as well as a ventral fragment showing the curvature of the outer shell. Produced using a high-precision heliogravure method, the plate captures the textural details and geological matrix of the fossils for scientific study. This work comes from the specialized treatise Recherches sur la craie supérieure, published by the Imprimerie Nationale in Paris in 1894.
Albert de Grossouvre was a French geologist and engineer who made fundamental contributions to the stratigraphy of the Cretaceous period. He served as an engineer for the Corps des Mines and devoted much of his career to the mapping and classification of geological layers in France. His meticulous research on ammonites allowed for more precise dating of rock formations and remains a cornerstone of European paleontology. Grossouvre was recognized for his ability to combine field observations with rigorous taxonomic descriptions in his scientific publications.
