Summary: Has justly survived the test of time
Review: Originally published by the American Philosophical Society in 1933, this new Krieger Publishing Company edition of William K. Gregory's Fish Skulls is a seminal, scholarly, detailed work devoted to ichthyology, or the scientific study of the evolution of fish. The thorough and extensive text, heightened by the black-and-white diagrams of numerous sample fish skulls, analyze the composition and contrasts in fish bone structure in minute detail. A college-level reference that has justly survived the test of time due to its meticulous accuracy, Fish Skulls is an essential, core volume for any professional or academic Marine Evolution Studies or Ichthyology Studies reference collection.
