Snively's mural, a year in the making, unveils in Pauling
• Geology department illustrates 570 million years of dirt

A pair of enthusiastic Art and
Science Departments mounted a
new geology mural in the biology
hall of the Pauling Center last Fri
day, Jan. 8.
“I’ve been hearing about it for
months,” Joan Harrison, science
lab manager, said. “It’s nothing
like I imagined.”
The official presentation of the
mural will be conducted with a
slide show by Physical Science
Instructor John Snively on Thurs
day, Jan. 14 at noon in Pauling 101.
A year ago, Snively had a vision,
an idea that would benefit students.
The mural will be used as a learn
ing tool for the Science Depart
ment.
Real rock samples as well as
animal fossils are embedded in the
mural, corresponding to the proper
layer of sediment. The mural is a
geological timeline spanning 570
million years.
The mural is divided into three
sections, or levels. The first, de
picting the Grand Canyon, repre
sents the Earth’s deepest layers of
rock. The middle panels are of
what lays exposed in the Zion Na
tional Park, and the last set of pan
els represent the Bryce Canyon
whose layers of sediment are those
that are on the top.
Art students who deserve recog
nition for their work include Nic
Delgado, Diane Gauthier, Lauren
Robertson, Wanda Robertson and
Steve Wilson.
The mural was funded by the
College Foundation.
Diane Gauthier, John Snively and David Anderson eyeball the marvealous mural paitned by students from the art department.
