BOZEMAN, Mont.- A new exhibit at the Museum of the Rockies hopes to take you back in time to a place where you can take a swim in the âSavage Ancient Seas.â
The new rotating exhibit includes more than 30 prehistoric casts and some real fossils found at the bottom of the Western Interior Seaway, a shallow sea across North America around 70 million years ago.
âOne of the cool things about the exhibit is that we can see a lot of these animals in three-dimensions, their skeletons are mounted so that you can walk under them and around them and it really gives you the feel of what it might be like to be swimming in the water and having to encounter one of these creatures,â Dr. John Scannella, the John R. Horner curator of paleontology at the museum said.
