Part of the mural to the left of the entry was a map with dot showing the discovery location. The map
was labeled, "3. Regionum Tabula." And the discovery location was labeled, "Discovered in the Whiteaker in 2018."
|
To the right of the entry was a portrait of a multi-trunked, prickly tusked, hairy Mammuthus Quadriocellata.
|
To the left of the entry was a depiction of the Mammuthus Quadriocellata's skeleton, its location on a North American map, and
a detail of its skull.

Its skeleton, absent fur, revealed very long legs for such a hefty creature.
|
The front of the building was covered in two murals, one either side of the entry. Above the entry a new sign was
painted describing the murals.
