"[A] remarkable book." — Mark A. Wilson, Paleontology Newsletter

"Highly recommended" — Choice

"A fascinating read for people who study ancient marine ecosystems." — David J. Bottjer, University of Southern California

"Frank K. McKinney's book succeeds admirably in its attempt to provide a thorough review of the oceanography, sedimentology, and marine ecology of the Adriatic Sea. This book ties together strands that such paleobiologists as J. J. Sepkoski, Richard Bambach, and Richard B. Aronson have been working on for more than thirty years, and thus provides a complete synthesis that is a major contribution." — Mark McMenamin, Mt. Holyoke College
