Scene & Herd: Charismatic megafauna
The fossilized bones of a giant prehistoric chicken, recently discovered in the Petaluma River, were on display for a Halloween party last Saturday at Hall of the Above.
Just kidding.
Architect Daniel Castor built the 20-foot anatomically correct wooden sculpture for the Halloween bash, "Night of the Chicken Dead." Guests had the opportunity to view the piece of art for one night only as they danced and partied.
Castor and his wife, Jennifer Jerde, who co-own and operate Hall of the Above, transported what they joked scientists are calling "Pollosaurus maximus" from Castor's studio in San Rafael and assembled it piece-by-piece.
Check out more photos from Castor of the process and the party:
