Providence-born artist Everett Clark Thorpe is best known for his regionalist murals depicting modern Utah history, but here he explores a more distant past. Thorpe’s aquatic artwork references Lake Bonneville, which covered the area between 30,000 and 13,000 years ago. The former shores of Lake Bonneville are fossil hotspots, primarily for Pleistocene megafauna like mammoth, camelops, and bison. In contrast, the dinosaurs Thorpe includes in his scene went extinct around 66 million BCE.
