Ancient Sea Reptiles: Plesiosaurs, Ichthyosaurs, Mosasaurs, and More

A popular book about Mesozoic marine reptiles. That means in the first instance plesiosaurs, ichthyosaurs, and mosasaurs, but lesser-known groups like nothosaurs and metriorhynchids are also treated, as well as early sea turtles. Aimed at the educated layman, the book assumes little or no previous familiarity with the animals, but it doesn't dumb stuff down either. I found it delightful.

Generously illustrated guide to the families of prehistoric sea animals.
