Description

This black and white photograph features two men opening a quarry to excavate bones from the rock. Two men are on top of a rock formation using pick axes to open a quarry. George F. Sternberg is standing and is holding a shovel; a pick axe is in the rock next to his feet. Levi Sternberg is using his pick axe to break into the rock. Bones are seen in the silicified rock below the men. The bones were identified as a discovery of George's Chasmosaurus (ceratops). This image is included in Charles H. Sternberg's book "Hunting Dinosaurs on Red Deer River, Alberta, Canada, Figure 26." Handwriting is below the photograph. The description is on page 86.
