Havana, Dec. 24 - An exhibition on the Ichthyosaur Project and the unveiling of mysteries from the past will open this Friday at 10:30 a.m. at the Museum of Natural History, located at Obispo No. 61, corner of Oficios, in Havana Vieja.
The exhibition is sponsored by the Information Technology and Advanced Telematics Services Company (Citmatel, for its acronym in Spanish), announced Mariana Sacker Labrada, a spokesperson for the company.
It also includes the sale of educational products and the screening of the audiovisual presentation "The Enigmas of the Farallón Cave," she added, referring to the antiquity of Cuban geology.
Ichthyosaurs are an extinct order of ichthyopterygian sauropsids that lived from the Early Triassic to the Late Cretaceous in what is now the Americas, Europe, and Asia, where their name was created in 1840 by Sir Richard Owen.
They were large marine reptiles with a fish-like and dolphin-like appearance.
Farallones de Moa: a Case Study of Mountain Karst in the Far East of Cuba is one of the most explored and paradoxically, least known karst systems, according to sources consulted.
The authors of this research review most of its geological, karstological, hydrogeological, and geospeleological characteristics in light of the most recent work both in Cuba and internationally.
They use a perspective of 35 years of geoscientific knowledge, which attempts to shed some light on the understanding of this cave system.
