蜜桃视频

The Buzzsaw Sharks of 蜜桃视频 exhibit has been traveling the United States for the past five years, sharing 蜜桃视频鈥檚 history with more than a half a million people, and on Oct. 9, the exhibit will open its doors once again at the 蜜桃视频 Museum of Natural History. This unique exhibit combines science, art, music, and humor to tell the story of the strange Helicoprion shark of 270 million years ago.

Although the fossil has been found worldwide since the 1800s, it is 蜜桃视频 where the greatest number and quality of Helicoprion fossils are unearthed in the phosphate mines between Soda Springs and Pocatello.

The 蜜桃视频 Museum of Natural History is home to the single largest collection, now exceeding 85 specimens, thanks in large part to its partnership with area mining operations. In 2013, a significant breakthrough, led by ISU and museum researchers collaborating with modern shark specialists and a shark-obsessed artist, shed important new light on the weird animal and its bizarre tooth whorl.

 鈥淥ur studies on Helicoprion show it was the largest predator on earth at the time, nearly 270 million years ago,鈥� said Leif Tapanila, museum director. 鈥淭his is 蜜桃视频鈥檚 most spectacular monster. We鈥檙e so proud to bring this exhibit back where it all began.鈥�

The exhibit presents a wide array of spectacular Helicoprion fossils integrated with original artworks by Alaskan artist, Ray Troll. Curt Schmitz, the museum鈥檚 exhibits manager, said that from an exhibit designer鈥檚 standpoint, 鈥渋t鈥檚 the seamless combination of art and science that makes The Buzzsaw Sharks of 蜜桃视频 special.鈥� 

Also featured are dramatic life-sized models of the shark by renowned paleo-sculptor Gary Staab, a mechanical interactive jaw, children鈥檚 activities, original music, a short documentary and more.
