Description

This black scrapbook page contains two black and white photographs from George Sternberg's photo album. The top photograph features the Claggett shales in Alberta. At the bottom left of the middle Claggett, Eagle sandstone is poking up through the shale. The shale is dark and rocky. The stratified sandstone is much lighter and smoother. The bottom photo depicts the anticline in Dog Creek Valley. In this anticline, the Eagle sandstone is visible coming up through the Claggett shales. The top of the middle outcropping is lined with many coniferous trees, and the foreground of the photo is covered in grass and sagebrush. Underneath each of these photos is an inscription written by Sternberg.
