The cast model of Paleoparadoxia (now Neoparadoxia Repenningi) was displayed in an exhibit case in the SLAC Visitor's Center from 1996 to 2014 (shown in photo above). When that building was torn down to make way for construction of the Science and User Support Building (SUSB), the model was placed on long-term loan with the San Mateo County History Association Museum in Redwood City.
