Description

Partially hand-colored image showing five skeletal fragments each labeled with a letter, including a piece of horn ("D"). From "Kupfer-Bibel, in welcher die Physica Sacra oder geheiligte Naturwissenschafft derer in der heiligen Schrifft vorkommenden natürlichen Sachen" by Johann Jakob Scheuchzer. Scheuchzer, like his contemporaries, considered the Bible to be an accurate account of the history of the earth and in his book discussed paleontological finds of plants and animals he believed had perished in the great flood.
