Description
The Princeton Field Guide to Mesozoic Sea Reptiles is a comprehensive guide to the mighty reptiles that dominated the seas of the Mesozoic era. This authoritative illustrated book covers 435 species of sea reptiles, featuring stunning illustrations of swimming reptiles ranging in size from little lizards to others with great necks longer than their bodies. The guide provides detailed information on the history of sea reptiles, their anatomy, physiology, locomotion, reproduction, and growth, as well as their extinction. It also challenges the common image of these reptiles as giants of the prehistoric waters, revealing that the largest weighed far less than today's biggest whales. With dozens of original skeletal drawings and full-color life scenes, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in paleontology and the natural world. Written and illustrated by a renowned researcher and artist, this field guide is a one-of-a-kind resource that sheds new light on the fascinating world of Mesozoic sea reptiles.
