Description

This black and white photograph features four men in an area where a fossil skeleton of a Gryposaurus Notabilis was found. A canyon with a river flowing through it is in the background. A row of trees are seen on the far side of the river in the foreground. The four men are on a rock formation in the foreground. Charles H. Sternberg, wearing a black shirt and suspenders, is standing with his hands behind his back. Charlie M. Sternberg is standing next to a small hill. Levi Sternberg crouches next to the site of the fossil. Lawrence Lambe sits to the right of the fossil and holds a pick axe. According to Charles H. Sternberg in his book "Hunting Dinosaurs on Red Deer River, Alberta, Canada" (page 64-68), this specimen was discovered by his son, Charles (Charlie) M. Sternberg. Handwriting is below the photograph. The photograph is torn on the right side.
