July 15th, 2012. USS Antiquities The earliest forms of life are analyzed via colourful murals of simple life forms, replicas of fossils, and two tanks of fish and one with juvenile yellow-spotted Amazon river turtles. This short hallway is something designed out of science fiction and it resembles the interior of a boat/space ship. Visitors are then plunged into a cave-like environment, with mock-rock landscaped walls and a darkened set of lighting. In a vague sense there is the continuum of progressing through the lower, smaller life forms and how they have changed over time. Thus the fish tanks are followed by invertebrates, then reptiles and amphibians until eventually a couple of squirrels are seen and the cave ends.
