Book Description
Este libro contiene información del gran grupo de depredadores marinos denominado como «tiburones», revisados a nivel general, buscando mostrar su forma de vida, la anatomía, sus órganos sensoriales y, por ende, entender por qué han alcanzado la cúspide de la depredación marina de todos los tiempos, estudiando los diversos tiburones, desde el Devónico hasta el día de hoy. Por otra parte, este trabajo desea dar a conocer la fauna más espectacular existente en nuestro territorio, en especial los de la Formación Bahía Inglesa, como: el ave más grande del mundo, con ocho metros de ala a ala, Pelagornis chilensis; un tiburón del tamaño de un vagón de tren, Carcharocles megalodon; una ballena asesina, con dientes de más de cuarenta centímetros de largo, Leviathan melvillei; entre otros mamíferos marinos y aves, realizando una revisión de la fauna fósil de los tiburones en Chile. Daremos un vistazo a un extraño grupo de mamíferos costeros de hábitos acuáticos dentro del grupo de los perezosos, los Thalassocnus; a un singular delfín, Odobenocetops, dotado de largos «colmillos»; y a un sirenio, todos conviviendo en un ecosistema único. Este libro, sin duda, será una guía para los estudiantes y futuros paleontólogos de nuestro país.
