The Rise and Fall of Africa’s Ocean Giants

Dive into Deep Time

Travel to present day Morocco, a vibrant country in Northwest Africa, and dive into its prehistoric past. A fossil record that goes back 600 million years and presents an immense variety of life through the eons.

The Traveling Exhibition

Sahara Sea Monsters

Three and a half billion years ago cyanobacteria ruled the oceans and caused a monstrous climate event, oxygen. Since then, the Earth has seen a rise and fall of ocean giants. The fossil beds of Morocco are now home to an astonishing number of these fallen giants.

Join us to explore 600 million years of ocean life in 4,000 – 7,000 square feet. This turn-key exhibition features invertebrate fossils, full mounted skeletons, interactive and hands-on elements, all furnishings, interpretive labels, and stunning artwork. An exhibition technician will join your team on-site for installation and dismantle.
