What is Fossil Atlas, Fishes about?
Approximately 420 million years ago (during the Silurian Era), the first fishes appeared on our planet. They were quite clumsy, more benthic, and poor swimmers. Soon they were followed by placoderms, sharks, and finally, the first primitive bony fishes. Almost simultaneously the first lobe-finned fishes appeared. They ventured out onto land and evolved into amphibians and reptiles, eventually developing into vertebrates. Photos of 900 fossil fishes and over 200 recent descendants, plus several hundred line illustrations make this book an invaluable reference source for fish lovers, paleontologists, archaeologists, and fossil collectors of all levels.
