Description

Gregory Paul's Sea Dragon Encyclopedia Description Thank you for visiting the page! Ships with careful packing from Japan. This book is The Gregory Paul Encyclopedia of Marine Reptiles, which focuses specifically on marine reptiles and serves as a sister encyclopedia to the 2020 publication The Gregory Paul Dinosaur Encyclopedia and the 2024 publication The Gregory Paul Pterosaur Encyclopedia. It features precise skeletal diagrams and restoration illustrations of 435 species of marine reptiles by Gregory Paul, an artist specializing in paleontological skeletal diagrams and a paleontological researcher. While there are many academic books related to dinosaurs, this comprehensive marine reptile encyclopedia, accompanied by skeletal diagrams and restoration illustrations, is unparalleled globally and holds extremely high rarity value as a reference for students and young researchers in paleontology, museum professionals, and paleontology enthusiasts. The structure consists of two parts: Overview of Marine Reptiles and Marine Reptile Encyclopedia. In the Overview of Marine Reptiles, over 60 pages are dedicated to explanations and illustrations regarding the history of discovery and research, evolution, behavior, growth, and gigantism. It is known that a diverse array of marine reptiles, including plesiosaurs, mosasaurs, and ichthyosaurs, inhabited the seas of the Mesozoic era. These marine reptiles are precisely what we refer to as marine reptiles. As a classification group, they are oviparous amniotes that lay shelled eggs, although some have evolved to be viviparous. Amniotes are divided into three major groups: anapsids, synapsids, and diapsids, but marine reptiles are likely all included within the diapsids. Their body sizes range from small species measuring 0.3 m in length and weighing 0.025 kg to large species approaching 17 m in length and weighing 20 tons. Among marine reptiles, some lizard-like, snake-like, turtle-like, and crocodilian species have survived the catastrophic crisis at the end of the Mesozoic era when many organisms faced extinction and are now distributed globally. Fins play a significant role in the swimming of marine reptiles. This book explains the similarities and differences with vertebrates, including marine mammals. This is the only academic book on marine reptiles, dedicated to readers who feel a sense of romance for the marine reptiles that dominated the seas of the Mesozoic era and still inhabit them today, as well as to those with a keen interest in paleontology.
