Request to use the second floor north end of building A of the County Building for an exihbit of the bones and artifacts found in and around Vero Beach. The Old Vero Ice Age Sites Committee would like to place display cases and information boards in the north section of the second floor of building A. This historical exihbit would include cases as pictured here in this packet. The general placement of the cases would be as drawn on the pictures. Our intention for this exhibit is to bring to one location all the collections that we currently have on exhibit in the Main Library, the Brackett Library and the lobby of building A. Additional ice age fossils, bones and artifacts from the past 100 years are now within our reach and we intend to display those as well. We will be purchasing additional display cabinets that would stand alone, picture included, to augment the cabinets we already have. It is our hope that with this exhibit in one place that schools and the general public of Vero and the County will be able to follow a self -guided tour of the history of our Old Vero Man site. Florida is rich with fossilized remains and Vero Beach has the distinction of having 4 extinct Ice age mammals that have never been found anywhere else in North America.
