Mote's Temporary Exhibit, 'Savage Ancient Seas' Opens This Weekend

Business

Long ago in an ocean not so far away, turtles had 12-foot shells, seabirds had teeth, and “sea monsters” with powerful jaws prowled beneath the waves. Sunday, February 29 through May 31, 2020, Mote Aquarium visitors can peek into this ancient world—87-70 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous—thanks to the special exhibit “Savage Ancient Seas,” featuring replicated skeletons cast from the real fossils of extinct ocean animals. This exhibit is paid for in part by Sarasota County Tourist Development Tax revenues.
