It was a coelacanth, which thrived concurrently with dinosaurs and pterodactyls-an animal of major importance to those who study the history of vertebrate life.Living Fossil describes the life and habitat of the coelcanth and what scientists have learned about it during fifty years of research. It is an exciting and very human story, filled with ambitious and brilliant people, that reveals much about the practice of modern science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePaperback with picture of the coelacanth. 252 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51855858172192,"sku":"NEW0393308685","price":25.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61vwqzWUe-L.jpg?v=1781542700","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/living-fossil-the-story-of-the-coelacanth-0393308685","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
