Ancient Marine Reptiles
Vertebrate evolution has led to the convergent appearance of many groups of originally terrestrial animals that now live in the sea. There are also reptilian lineages (like plesiosaurs, ichthyosaurs, mosasaurs, thalattosaurs, and others) that have become sea creatures. Among these groups are familiar mammals like whales, dolphins, and seals.
This edited book is devoted to these extinct groups of marine reptiles. 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.
It is the first book in more than 80 years devoted exclusively to fossil marine reptiles. It documents the most current research on extinct marine reptiles. It is prepared by the world's most prominent experts in the field; and is well illustrated.
