Articulation project blends art and science
ELLSWORTH A pair of Ellsworth neighbors have breathed new life into an Atlantic white-sided dolphin that had washed ashore in Rye, N.H.
No, Captain Toby Stephenson, a member of the staff at the College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, and Dasha Herrrington, a junior at John Bapst Memorial High School in Bangor, weren’t able to revive the dolphin. It had long been dead when it was found – so long that its insides seemed to be turning into soup.
Instead, the duo finished a skeleton articulation of the dolphin for the Blue Ocean Society earlier this month and Herrington was able to show off her work at the state science fair.
