| 説明 | Please attribute photo composition to Lorie Shaull if used elsewhere & cite Michael Bahl as the sculptorMichael Bahl is a sculptor who works as a Paleo-Osteological Interpreter. He creates skeletons of ancient imaginary creatures and artifacts using the actual bones of contemporary mammals. He describes this skeleton on his website, "Discovered in 1887 by Harold Vanselow, a maverick dinosaur hunter and one- time member of the Othniel Charles Marsh team from the Yale Peabody Museum, these Chalicotheres were named appropriately enough after the Laurentian Divide in northern Minnesota where tributaries of the St Lawrence River divide and flow in two directions. Dating from the Miocene era, the bones retain the rich deep color of the Iron Range where they once roamed in large herds. The purpose of the male's secondary head has been much debated, some experts believing it to be fully functional while more recent opinions maintain it was more probably used in the mating ritual.This family of nearly complete skeletons was recently re-discovered packed in crates during foundation re-enforcement of a home in South St. Paul, Mn. Although some structural restoration was necessary, these specimens are otherwise presented in the splendidly ancient condition in which they were found."www.michaelbahl.com/ |
