During my diploma thesis (geology) on inorganic and organic pigments of fossils at the University of Heidelberg, I stumbled upon a paper of Heinz on color measurements of the pink Jurassic red alga Solenopora using simple diffuse reflectance UV–Vis spectroscopy, suggesting that the fossil pigments are organic compounds related to the so-called fringelite pigments (Fig. 2)[1]. The fringelites were discovered in fossil crinoids with distinct violet coloration from northern Switzerland and were described as hydroxylated phenanthroperylene quinones [2]. The work on the Solenopora pigments resulted from a cooperation with his friend Andreas E. Richter who asked him about the nature of the pigments causing the pink color of the fossils. A subsequent call in the journal “Fossilien”, directed to the fossil collector community, to look for further colored fossils from different geological periods had a very good feedback and led to many further indications for the occurrence of these fossil pigments [3]. The results of the survey performed by his PhD student Elisabeth Mayr were also published in “Fossilien”[4]. To apply the method of color measurement to my samples, I phoned him and asked for a reference sample of a fossil crinoid containing fringelite pigments. He was very friendly, and soon, I received such a sample (that he also donated to me, Fig. 2, left).In further studies on the fringelites, he looked for an explanation for the incredible stability of the fossil pigments that remained colorful after more than 150 million years. He found that fringelites can be stabilized by the formation of phenolates with bay hydroxy groups and the formation of peri chelate complexes [5]. Other studies on fossil material
