Garrett's Underwater Diorama

The Brontoscopio: the underwater lobster/crab
It is made out of 7 parts. They move and flex and bend in 4 ways. In the background is casplaspis. They are a type of anciet fish.

Garrett is pointing to the claws of the Brontoscorpio.


The fish that is hanging off the arm of Garrett and infront of Isaac is a Caspolasbis. The Brontoscropio hunts Caspolasbis for dinner! YUMMY!

Garrett has been studying about the prehistoric oceans that were upon the earth and so....he has decided to put up a Brontoscropio. It is a crab/lobster creature that swam in the ocean, but also had the ability to walk on the land. This creature moves in 7 sections. He made it with tape, paper, "stuffing" (tissue stuffed in the middle) and for the the tail/stinger he added a small stick.
In the Diorama, the Brontoscropio is chasing its favorite prey, Caspolasbis. YUMMY! Garrett took 5 days and 20 hours of work on this latest creation. And as you can see in the other pictures there are other underwater seacreatures--I wouldn't even try to pronounce--and they are strung up in such a way to catch the heating currents of the prehistoric ocean. One smart boy! I love him!
