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

[04:37 . 62]戈特弗里德卡尔弗特海洋博物馆将举办一个展览和补充节目，解释中新世的海洋生物。悬崖宝藏：探索海洋化石将以世界著名的卡尔弗特悬崖化石为展览基础。他们的目的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，“《悬崖上的宝藏》最重要的目的是为自然历史展览树立一个新的典范：采取一种人文主义和整体的方法，承认想象力对科学事业的中心地位，并在科学学习的过程中吸引好奇心、创造力和智力。”一进入展览，游客的兴趣就会被巨大的、明亮的大白鲨牙齿化石所吸引。参观者将在古生物学办公室/实验室和化石鉴定区从展览开始就参与到科学的奇迹和过程中。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。接下来是两个重建中新世的立体模型，其中一个将包括一个巨大的大白鲨化石的全尺寸骨骼重建。然后，游客可以在一个阅读站和一个视频和演示剧院自己调查。参观者将在展示现代切萨皮克湾如何形成的部分后退出展览。这将他们无缝地引导到博物馆的下一个展厅河口帕塔克森特：一条河流及其生活。博物馆将开发一系列与这次展览相结合的补充项目，以吸引包括正规教育工作者在内的更广泛的观众。他们将组织一次演讲服务，编写一份化石现场指南，并制作一部关于大白鲨的视频。

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.
