San 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.
