Megalodon: Hunting The Hunter by paleontologist Mark Renzis the amazing saga of the evolutionary rise and fall of the Megalodon, a gigantic and deadly shark. From the hunt for Megalodon fossils, to the ecology of an efficient and successful predator, Megalodon is packed from cover to cover with a wealth of fascinating information, 390 illustrations and photos, and an accurate portrait of what these ancient eating machines were really like in the high seas. A superb and eye-opening paleontology account that is an enthusiastically recommended addition to paleontology reference collections and supplemental reading lists, Megalodon is enhanced for the readers with fifty international sites where they can search for Meg teeth, a color identification section of Meg and her ancestors, and more!Product Description
Writing in a conversational style for the lay person -- without forsaking science -- the author embarks on a world-wide hunt for the largest predatory fish and most fearsome shark ever to inhabit our global seas.After 62 million years, the fossil record for this 60-foot aqua-motive known as C. megalodon abruptly ends.
In part, this is a color-illustrated guide book that pinpoints where to search for Meg teeth and other shark fossils in Florida and elsewhere, as well as how to identify the various species.It is also meant to invite lively discussions about how such a menacing predator became extinct, or whether it is still lurking deep below the ocean's surface.Additionally, the book is a rallying cry for treating today's sharks (as well as all life forms) with as much respect as we ourselves would want to be treated.
