Critics Review
“Mesozoic Sea Dragons is the most comprehensive review of the Middle Triassic marine faunas of Monte San Giorgio published to date. It synthesises a vast body of literature in an accessible way and provides an informative, beautifully illustrated review of the vertebrate life that once thrived in the ancient lagoon. It also delivers a fascinating account of the history of fossil discoveries of this remarkable site.P f Pacific Friend :A Window on JapanPACIFIC STUDIES”—Palaeontologia Electronica
“Mesozoic Sea Dragons earns its ambitious title. Using the historical and taxonomic importance of Monte San Giorgio, Rieppel has crafted a volume that serves the sometimes unappreciated marine reptiles well, giving readers both an excellent overview and a deep dive.“—Ashley W. Poust, The Quarterly Review of Biology
