Naturwissenschaften – Sehr selten. - Abhandlung des bedeutenden deutschen Paläontologen und Geologen Friedrich August Quenstedt (1809-1889) zu dem in Württemberg gefunden Mastodonsaurus. Im Jahr 1824 wurde erstmals ein Zahn des Sauriers gefunden. Der Mastodonsaurus, welcher im Trias lebte, erhielt seinen Namen von Georg Friedrich von Jäger. Quenstedt versucht in seinem Werk zu zeigen, dass der Mastodonsaurus mit den zeitgenössischen Batrachiern verwandt ist und sogleich jedoch im Aussehen Reptilien wie den Krokodilen ähnelte. - Stockfleckig. Insgesamt gut erhalten.
