This well-preserved ex-library copy of Edwin H. Colbert’s “The Age of Reptiles” offers a fascinating journey through the Mesozoic Era, when reptiles ruled the Earth. Colbert, a renowned paleontologist and curator at the American Museum of Natural History, brings his expertise to bear in this comprehensive exploration of the diverse and often bizarre reptilian life that dominated the planet for over 180 million years. From the iconic dinosaurs to the flying pterosaurs and marine reptiles like ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs, Colbert’s vivid descriptions and scientific insights breathe life into these ancient creatures. Published in 1965, this seminal work not only provides a detailed overview of the reptilian era but also sheds light on the pioneering paleontological discoveries and theories that shaped our understanding of this pivotal period in Earth’s history. With its informative text and numerous illustrations, this volume is a must-have for anyone interested in paleontology, natural history, or the enduring allure of these prehistoric giants.
