  • New exhibit will provide look at giant ancient mollusk

    A model of an ancient mollusk, Endolobus spectabilis, will be on display around the state with a fossil of an E. spectabilis shell. Paleontologist Joe Devera put together the exhibit and worked with a sculptor on the model. Devera was recently able to pinpoint the time period E. spectabilis inhabited shallow, murky lagoons in Illinois, before the time of the dinosaurs.
