TOP REVIEWS FROM PALEONTOLOGY: ANCIENT MARINE REPTILES
this is the best course ever for someone who wants to learn about pentalogy because if you have a pet reptile it's a great way to know the history of the ocean with reptiles.
This course was very interesting and helpful. It helped me to really understand marine reptiles, unlike many introductory science books that only lists the names of those reptiles.
Excelent course. I did not know nothing about the incredible fossil record that this ancient reptiles have, now I am learning a lot about its origin and evolution.
This course is a great gateway into this fascinating part of our earth's history, I look forward to learning more from other courses that are offered and would highly recommend this course to others.
