This richly illustrated, authoritative, and accessible book introduces readers to the world of these fascinating marine animals, whose predecessors returned to the seas a few million years after the first vertebrates emerged from the water. As we meet ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, mosasaurs, and many others, we learn about the astonishing anatomical, physiological, and behavioral adaptations that enabled these reptiles to become ocean dwellers again. We also learn about their living descendants, including sea turtles and sea snakes. Featuring stunning artwork depicting these prehistoric ocean creatures and photographs of their fossil remains, this book invites readers to discover the enthralling past of marine reptiles in all their extraordinary diversity.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNathalie Bardet\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eAlexandra Houssaye \u003c\/b\u003eare paleontologists and research directors at France's National Museum of Natural History in Paris. \u003cb\u003eSt駱hane Jouve\u003c\/b\u003e is a paleontologist and the manager of the geoscience collections at the Sorbonne. \u003cb\u003ePeggy Vincent\u003c\/b\u003e is a paleontologist and researcher at the National Museum of Natural History. \u003cb\u003eAlain B駭騁eau\u003c\/b\u003e is a natural history illustrator who specializes in paleontology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 10.5 x 8.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 21, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51753128526112,"sku":"9780691243948","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/0ccfdc6cf1d52e1a5e242509ded9bae8.webp?v=1780013381","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/ocean-life-in-the-time-of-dinosaurs-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
