Prehistoric Marine Life in Australia's Inland Sea

Museums Victoria / Museums Victoria Publishing / Science books / Prehistoric Marine Life in Australia's Inland Sea

Step back in time to when Australia’s red centre was flooded by a vast shallow ocean – the Eromanga Sea.

While dinosaurs stalked the scattered islands that made up the Australian continent, giant marine reptiles ruled the waves.

Plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs swam in an inland sea filled with schools of ammonites. Pterosaurs flew overhead while giant carnivorous amphibians lurked in the rivers.

Prehistoric Marine Life is a guide to the fauna of the Eromanga Sea and its coasts during the Cretaceous period. This richly illustrated book brings to life the fascinating world of Australia’s prehistoric past.
