Description

This black and white photograph features George F. Sternberg reaching into a bucket full of plaster to make a cast of the skull fossil of Chasmosaurus belli. A landscape view of stratified, outcropped rock borders the horizon from the top right of the photo to the center. A chunk of rock is behind Sternberg and the fossil. A pile of dark burlap sack strips lies on the ground a foot away from the plaster bucket in the lower-left corner of the photo. George Sternberg provided a cursive inscription underneath the photo. This image is included in Charles H. Sternberg's book - "Hunting Dinosaurs in the Bad Lands of the Red Deer River, Alberta, Canada Figure 28."
