Description

This black scrapbook page contains two black and white photographs from George Sternberg's photo album. Above the photos, Sternberg wrote an inscription that says, Euoplocephalus quarry no 27 1914. In the left photograph, Sternberg has drawn an arrow toward his colleague, who is seen running down the excavation site. To his left, some excavation tools are propped on a ledge. Plant life is minimal around the quarry but thickens farther back. The right photograph contains the same excavation site after the explosion. Smoke is escaping from the crevice seen in the quarry. Underneath both photos are inscriptions written by George Sternberg describing these events.
