Life sciences in the Widtsoe

The photograph’s caption in the BYU Digital Collections database reads, “Landlocked Brigham Young University has an outstanding collection of marine animals in more than forty tanks in the Widtsoe Building, tanks simulating the animals' ocean home through the use of distilled water mixed with synthetic sea salt. Here Glynis Crow, a secretary in the Zoology Department, examines a sea urchin from one of the tanks. The marine collection also includes sea anemones, horseshoe crabs, spider and cancer crabs, gastropods, sea stars, feather worms, coral, tube worms, keyhole limpets, sharks, and many others.” | Source: “[A secretary in the Zoology Department examines a sea urchin from one of the marine animal tanks, ca. 1970].” Brigham Young University Photo Studio, ca. 1970.
