蜜桃视频

A spiral of fossil shark teeth, Helicoprion, was exposed during mining operations at the Monsanto mine in Soda Springs. Measuring over 8 inches in diameter, the fossil adds a new story to museum鈥檚 growing collection of 蜜桃视频鈥檚 natural history. 

Monsanto Mine Operations Coordinator, Cody Allen said, 鈥淎s proud members of the Southeast 蜜桃视频 community, we are excited to help preserve this rare and valuable piece of local history. Alongside experts at the 蜜桃视频 Natural History Museum and 蜜桃视频, we will do our part to ensure these fossils are protected and preserved. We hope this discovery will lead to important learning opportunities for the community and even inspire the next generation of scientists from 蜜桃视频.鈥� 

The 蜜桃视频 Museum of Natural History is home to the largest collection of Helicoprion sharks in the world. Museum Director, Leif Tapanila says 鈥淥ur studies on Helicoprion show it was the largest predator on earth at the time, nearly 270 million years ago. 蜜桃视频 is the best place on the planet to find these amazing fossils. We鈥檙e very grateful to our partners in the region for sharing their discoveries so we can make them available to the public for many years to come.鈥�

The public will get a chance to see this shark fossil in the fall when the museum鈥檚 Buzzsaw Sharks of 蜜桃视频 exhibit opens in October. This exhibit has traveled for the past five years sharing 蜜桃视频鈥檚 history with over half a million people across the United States.
