A state-of-the-art look at prehistoric sharks--bringing together the latest discoveries with stunning, full-color reconstructions of diverse species
Sharks have ruled the oceans for more than 400 million years, with an evolutionary tree that includes an astonishing variety of creatures, from the streamlined Devonian Cladoselache and the bizarre spiral-toothed Helicoprion to the awe-inspiring Otodus megalodon. This book blends cutting-edge science with striking visuals to show how new scanning and imaging techniques reveal hidden details of soft tissues and body structures previously lost to time. Marvelously illustrated with fossil photographs alongside dramatic paleoart reconstructions by acclaimed illustrator Gabriel Ugueto, Megalodon and Other Prehistoric Sharks brings to life the diversity and strangeness of these ancient hunters.- Covers dozens of representative species and groups
- Features specially commissioned paleoart that showcases the incredible variety of body shapes and behaviors in shark evolutionary history
- Reveals how innovative CT scanning techniques and 3D modeling provide an entirely new understanding of prehistoric sharks
- Discusses shark diversity, sharks in the fossil record, paleoecology, behavior, and more
- Takes readers from the Devonian to the present day
