Abstract
Toen prof. N.C. de Fremery in 1840 met pensioen ging, presenteerden zijn studenten hem een gipsen afgietsel van de Miocene Deinotherium-schedel die in 1835 in Eppelsheim, Duitsland was gevonden door Kaup en Von Klipstein. Kaup verkocht gipsen afgietsels van de fossielen uit de steengroeve in Eppelsheim. Hij was een van de eersten die op grote schaal gipsen afgietsels van fossielen verkocht. Prof. de Fremery was de eerste paleontoloog aan de Universiteit Utrecht.
