- Summary
- "Dive into prehistoric waters and discover extraordinary sea creatures who reigned supreme in the ocean for 150 million years"--
- When dinosaurs roamed the Earth, lesser known but equally fearsome creatures commanded the sea. Naish takes readers for a dive into prehistoric waters, in order to discover extraordinary sea creatures who reigned supreme in the ocean for 150 million years. You'll discover apex predators, evolutionary anomalies, survivors of extinction events, and scientific theories and contentions that have arisen in the complex history of sea reptile research. -- adapted from jacket
