Collectible Description

Like kangaroos, wombats and koalas, the Tasmanian tiger (Thylacinus cynocephalus) is a marsupial. It used to inhabit the Australian continent and was also known as Tasmanian wolf. Today, all that is left are descriptions, old photos and film reels and a few mounted animals in natural history collections. Through competition with dogs (dingos) introduced by humans, the Tasmanian tiger went extinct about 80 years ago. The animal shown here lived in the Berlin Zoo until 1904 and became property of the Museum für Naturkunde after its death.

Artist Biography

Antje Dittmann (MfN): Bridging Paleontology and Molecular Biology

Antje Dittmann, a German paleontologist and mass spectrometry expert, stands at the forefront of integrating cutting-edge scientific techniques with the captivating realm of fossil research. Her work at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin has cemented her reputation as a visionary communicator of Earth’s ancient history—a storyteller who illuminates the secrets held within stone through the lens of modern molecular biology. Dittmann's fascination began early, nurtured by a childhood spent exploring geological formations in Brandenburg and Saxony Anhalt. This formative experience instilled in her an unwavering appreciation for the tangible evidence of past life and fueled her ambition to unravel its complexities. She pursued her undergraduate studies at Humboldt University Berlin with particular focus on geology and biology, recognizing the crucial interdependence between these disciplines. Subsequently, she earned a doctorate from Tübingen University specializing in vertebrate paleontology—a cornerstone achievement that established her foundational understanding of fossil analysis and evolutionary history. Her research trajectory has consistently prioritized innovative methodologies. Dittmann’s groundbreaking investigations into Tendaguru dinosaur fossils in Tanzania exemplify this commitment. Utilizing mass spectrometry – specifically proteomics – she meticulously analyzed protein fragments extracted from fossil bones, providing unprecedented insights into the physiology and metabolic pathways of extinct animals. This pioneering approach challenged conventional paleontological assumptions about dinosaur biology and demonstrated the transformative potential of molecular techniques. Her meticulous reconstructions of dinosaur musculature and biomechanics have revolutionized our comprehension of how these creatures moved and interacted with their environment. Beyond her scientific pursuits, Dittmann’s contribution extends to public outreach and educational initiatives. Notably, she spearheaded the creation of “The Biodiversity Wall” at Museum für Naturkunde Berlin—a monumental installation featuring over 3000 specimens representing the astonishing diversity of life across geological epochs. This ambitious project aimed not only to showcase paleontological treasures but also to foster a deeper appreciation for ecological interconnectedness and conservation efforts. Furthermore, Dittmann collaborated with Google Arts & Culture, presenting stunning images of iconic fossils like the head of Diplodocus and Eurohippus—bringing these prehistoric wonders to a global audience and inspiring curiosity about Earth’s evolutionary past. Dittmann's legacy rests on her ability to synthesize disparate fields into a cohesive narrative – revealing that understanding the molecular makeup of extinct organisms unlocks profound insights into their behavior, ecology, and ultimately, our own place in the grand tapestry of life’s history. Her work continues to inspire scientists and artists alike, demonstrating the enduring power of combining meticulous observation with advanced analytical tools to illuminate the mysteries of the past and inform our vision for the future.
