Hidden In Stone
Hidden in Stone is an exhibition about shifting continents, changing climates, and evolutionary radiation.
Hidden in Stone is a collaboration between scientists and artists, museums and galleries, to bring you our latest understanding of the evolution of the South Coast of England, through changing climates with a cast of prehistoric creatures and the arrival of humankind. The research was carried out by researchers in the University of Southampton’s Gostling Evolution and Palaeobiology Lab, in Biological Sciences, and the Department of Archaeology.
The Gostling Evolution and Palaeobiology Lab works on a multitude of questions from the origin of mammals and the evolution of birds and flight, to marine reptiles in Mesozoic seas and describing the dinosaurs that roamed the land above. Working in partnership with Rebecca Ferreira, and other members of the Department of Archaeology we cover 200 million years of geologic time. This is all brought, vividly, to life by a wonderful team of sculptors and artists from the Winchester School of Art and Karen Fawcett Studios.
This exhibition is brought to you by ‘a space’ arts, The Gostling Evolution and Palaeobiology Lab (UoS), the Department of Archaeology (UoS), Karen Fawcett Studios and Winchester School of Art (UoS) in partnership with Dinosaur Isle, Friends of Dinosaur Isle, The Etches Collection, The Hastings Museum and Gallery.
