Treasure From The Cliffs: Exploring Marine Fossils -- The Calvert Marine Museum's Paleontology Exhibit

小行星9453762 卡尔弗特海洋博物馆将开发一个展览和补充节目解释中新世时代的海洋生物。 来自悬崖的宝藏：探索海洋化石将使用世界著名的卡尔弗特悬崖化石作为展览的基础。 他们的意图是向参观者传达一种强烈的个人发现过程和科学探究的创造性成分。 用他们的话说，“悬崖宝藏的首要目的是为自然历史展览建立一个新的范式：采取一种人文和整体的方法，认识到想象力对科学事业的中心地位，并在科学学习过程中发挥好奇心和创造力以及智力。“一进入展览，参观者的兴趣将偷看看到大，戏剧性地点燃，化石大白色鲨鱼牙齿。 参观者将在古生物学办公室/实验室和化石鉴定区的展览开始时参与科学的奇迹和过程。 然后，他们将继续参观卡尔弗特悬崖的复制部分，以及说明化石沉积如何形成的案例。 两个重建的中新世立体模型，其中一个将包括一个全尺寸的骨骼重建的巨大化石大白色鲨鱼来其次。 然后，参观者将能够在一个阅读站和一个视频和演示剧院自己调查。 参观者将在参观完一个展示现代切萨皮克湾是如何形成的部分后退出展览。 这使他们无缝进入博物馆的下一个展厅河口Patuxent：一条河和它的生活。 博物馆将开发一系列与此展览相关的补充方案，以接触更广泛的观众，其中包括正规教育工作者。 他们将组织一个演讲者服务，开发一个化石现场指南，并制作一个关于大白色鲨鱼的视频。

9453762 Gottfried The Calvert Marine Museum will develop an exhibit and complementary programming interpreting the Miocene Age marine life. Treasure from the Cliffs: Exploring Marine Fossils will use the world famous fossils of Calvert Cliffs as the basis for the exhibit. It is their intention to convey a strong sense of the personal process of discovery and the creative component of scientific inquiry to the exhibit visitors. In their words, "The overriding purpose of Treasure from the Cliffs is to model a new paradigm for natural history exhibits: to take a humanistic and holistic approach that recognizes the centrality of imagination to the scientific enterprise, and that engages curiosity and creativity -- as well as intellect -- in the process of science learning." Upon entering the exhibit, a visitor's interest will be peeked by seeing the large, dramatically lit, fossil Great White Shark Tooth. Visitors will get involved in the wonder and process of science at the beginning of the exhibit in the Paleontology Office/Lab and Fossil Identification area. They will then move on to see a replicated section of the Calvert Cliffs and cases illustrating how fossil deposits form. Two recreated Miocene dioramas one of which will include a full-size skeletal reconstruction of the giant fossil Great White Shark come next. Visitors will then be able to investigate on their own in a reading station and a video and demonstration theater. Visitors will exit the exhibit after a section that shows how the modern Chesapeake Bay was formed. This leads them seamlessly into the museum's next exhibit hall Estuary Patuxent: A River and its Life. The museum will develop a series of complementary programs in association with this exhibit to reach a wider audience that will include formal educators among others. They will organize a speakers service, develop a fossil field guide, and produce a video about the Great White Shark.
