Description
This black scrapbook page contains four black and white photographs that were captured by George Sternberg in 1913. They feature the rock formations, plant life, and fossils in the Belly River Formation and the badlands. He does not specify whether the badlands he mentions are about the Badlands National Park or if he is using badlands in reference to the style of the outcrop. Sternberg handwrote a short description in cursive underneath each photo. Each photo depicts a different aspect of the formations in the Belly River and the badlands.
