Description

This black and white photograph features an excavation of a fossil specimen in Alberta, Canada. This was called the Euoplocephalus Quarry. Two men are standing on rocky terrain to the left of this hole. The man on the left is Lawrence Lambe posing with his knee bent, his foot resting on top of some rocks, and an excavation tool in his right hand. The man on the right, Charles H. Sternberg, is standing upright, posing with his hands on his hips. In the hole's entrance, a shovel is leaned upright against the wall of the hole. To the right of the hole, three pickaxes are resting against the hill. Handwriting is below the photograph.
