What reading level is The Great Stone book of Nature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In addition to the land and air species, we also find fossil a considerable and interesting group of marine reptiles. These, too, were some of them very gigantic, approaching even the whales in this respect, while there is every probability that they were much more fierce. Unlike the ordinary hard coat of mail that we find cover- ing most known reptiles, and that appears also to have belonged to those in a fossil state, the marine species were soft-skinned, and exhibit strength rather for attac...k than defence. There are two principal groups, one approach- ing much more nearly to the true fishes than the other. The one well known as the Ichthyosaur, or fish-lizard, has been handed down to us in unusual perfection, many com- plete skeletons having been worked out of their stony beds, and numerous indications given even of the skin and the contents of the stomach.
The Plesiosaur, although more nearly a lizard, as its name implies, would seem to have been even less like any existing animal than its companion.
