Book
Ancient sea reptiles : plesiosaurs, ichthyosaurs, mosasaurs, and more / Darren Naish.
When dinosaurs roamed the Earth, lesser known but equally fearsome creatures commanded the sea. Ancient Sea Reptiles brings these often unsung sea monsters into the limelight, using fossil photography and striking artistic reconstructions to make the book an immersive and authoritative guide to their diverse anantomy, impressive behaviors, and fascinating evolutionary history. The book investigates marine reptiles of unparalleled strength, speed, and size, as well as the ways their species adapted, survived, or died out in a changing world. -- From inside front cover.
