Text Appearing Before Image:
TAKE A K ON THE P I REI REPARETO EMBARK ON A JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY THAT BEGINS BILLIONS OF YEARS AGO AS EARTH TAKES ITS MOLTEN SHAPE WITHIN A SOLAR SYSTEM. THE COURSE WE'LL FOLLOW TWISTS AND TURNS TO ACCOMMODATE THE TECTONIC REARRANGEMENT OF CONTINENTS IN ALTERNATING PERIODS OF DRAMATIC UPLIFT AND BARELY DISCERNIBLE DRIFT.
Text Appearing After Image:
journey will expand our under- standing of North Carolina's distinct place in an ever- changing world. Fossils, which preserve records of plants and animal life, will provide essential clues to the age, climate and ecology of our prehistory. And we'll look for links to life as we know it at the start of a new millennium. This adventure through time is no figment of a science fiction writer's imagination. The time portal opens in April with the inauguration of the new North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh. The seven-story, state-of-the-art facility is the largest natural history museum in the Southeast and boasts exhibits seen nowhere else. Engaging dioramas allow visitors to interact with each diverse environment from the sea to the mountains, complete with a 25-foot waterfall and trees so real you can smell the pine. But I'm getting ahead of the story. First, we'll catch up with Vince Schneider, museum curator of paleontol- ogy, who will guide us as we tour North Carolina at the dawn of life. We'll encounter dinosaurs that didn't make the evolutionary cut, and whales that did. Step carefully into the "Prehistoric North Carolina" exhibit, where a point on the timeline mural virtually explodes into life. We'll follow the timeline through the primordial soup as life coalesces and primitive algae and bacteria leave traces 20 SPRING 2000
