Ancient Marine Reptiles
1997MB-17San Diego CA.: Academic Press 1997. Comprehensive highly acclaimed reference text is the first book in more than 80 years devoted exclusively to fossil marine reptiles. Vertebrate evolution has led to the convergent appearance of many groups of originally terrestrial animals that now live in the sea. Among these groups are familiar mammals like whales dolphins and seals. There are also reptilian lineages like plesiosaurs ichthyosaurs mosasaurs thalattosaurs and others that have become sea creatures. Most of these marine reptiles often wrongly called "dinosaurs" are extinct. These reptilian analogs represent useful models of the myriad adaptations that permit tetrapods to live in the ocean. 501 pgs. Illustrated. Very minimal shelfwear. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Academic Press Hardcover
