At 60 feet long, 12 feet wide and 14 feet high, this model shark is the largest project ever for Archie’s Welding.
The shark is destined for the “Megalodon: Largest Shark that Ever Lived” exhibit that opens in June at the Florida Museum of Natural History on the campus of the University of Florida.

Join us for a day of discovery and learn more about these large fossil sharks and their more recent cousins. Interact with local fossil clubs and Florida Museum researchers. Enjoy a gallery walk with a local expert, or try to “stump†a paleontologist with one of your own fossil finds.
