The free event will be on April 26, 2013 and will begin at noon and last until 1:00 p.m.

Mr. Swiatovy’s presentation, entitled “Shark Tank: Texoma,” will examine prehistoric sharks that inhabited Western Interior Seaway waters covering the Texoma area. Mr. Swiatovy will integrate a display of actual shark fossils into his lecture. The lecture will serve as a sneak peak to The Sherman Museum’s new exhibit of shark fossils that Mr. Swiatovy is preparing.
