TOP REVIEWS FROM PALEONTOLOGY: ANCIENT MARINE REPTILES
Thank you so much for these courses. This is the third one I've completed and I've loved them all. Special thanks to the hosts who have kept the information exciting and flowing.
this is the best course ever for someone who wants to learn about pentalogy because if you have a pet reptile it's a great way to know the history of the ocean with reptiles.
A great course with just enough detail to get into the subject without overwhelming those without a university background.
