MEET THE TRILOBITES – ARIZONA'S FIRST INHABITANTS

A fascinating exhibit opened recently at the UA Flandrau Science Center & Planetarium featuring Arizona's first inhabitants, the Trilobites. Long before the dinosaurs ruled the earth, the trilobites ruled the seas. Ancient relatives of lobsters and horseshoe crabs, trilobites flourished in the warm seas that covered much of Arizona millions of years ago.

Sign Age had the opportunity to produce the graphic posters on display throughout the exhibit. It was a lot of fun to learn about Arizona's first inhabitants.

Biosphere 2 Announces Ocean Gallery Re-Opening and Discovery Nights

Biosphere 2 will open the newly renovated Ocean Gallery and the "Return to the Sea of Cortez" exhibition on March 8th.  Originally designed as a coral reef more than 20 years ago, Biosphere 2 is designing a new ocean environment that will be a living model of the Gulf of California, also called the Sea of Cortez.  While touring the new Ocean Gallery, visitors will find large viewing windows to see under the surface of the B2 Ocean.  Sign Age had the pleasure of working with Biosphere 2 on production of display graphics for the exhibit.
