The St. Johnsbury Athenaeum is hosting a display of three 3D-printed fossil models of prehistoric marine reptiles through August. The casts are reproductions of fossil casts originally produced in 1866 for museums and schools.

The models offer a hands-on look at the creatures that once swam in ancient seas. The Athenaeum is located at 30 Main Street in St. Johnsbury.
