At 60 feet long, 12 feet wide and 14 feet high, this model shark is the largest project ever for Archie’s Welding.<\/p>\n

The shark is destined for the “Megalodon: Largest Shark that Ever Lived” exhibit that opens in June at the Florida Museum of Natural History on the campus of the University of Florida.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From the museum<\/a>:<\/p>\n

This summer discover the evolution, biology and misconceptions regarding giant prehistoric sharks when the Florida Museum opens the temporary exhibit, “Megalodon: Largest Shark that Ever Lived.”<\/p>\n

Opening Day Activies: How big was the largest shark? What did it eat? How long did it live? Join us for a day of discovery and learn more about these large fossil sharks and their more recent cousins. Interact with local fossil clubs and Florida Museum researchers. Enjoy a gallery walk with a local expert, or try to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153stump\u00e2\u20ac\u009d a paleontologist with one of your own fossil finds.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
