TOP REVIEWS FROM PALEONTOLOGY: ANCIENT MARINE 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.
Learned quite alot about Ichthyosaur and Mosasaur , piqued my interest in going for some advanced course in paleontology , Thank you for such a great course , Hats of the the team behind this .
A great course with just enough detail to get into the subject without overwhelming those without a university background.
Love the delivery style and assessment options.
Can be extremely complicated with all of the unfamiliar names, and I'd lose focus. As a result, I had a hard time keeping up. I'd recommend pausing and returning another day if you lose focus.
