Description

This black scrapbook page contains four black and white photographs from George Sternberg's photo album. These photos depict both close-up and distance shots of an outcrop, a river, and the foliage surrounding the river. Two of these photos are of the same rippling marks in a slab of rock that Sternberg and his team have uncovered. One of the pictures of the ripple marks is closer in view and from a different angle. These black-and-white shots each have a handwritten inscription from Sternberg detailing some of the objects and scenery in the photograph."George F. Sternberg, now working on behalf of the Geological Survey of Canada, operated a scow-based camp on the Red Deer River between Red Deer and the Munson ferry near Drumheller. Sternberg was assisted by Jacey Glen Mayberry (died ca. 1950; Mayberry 1985) from Red Deer, J.A. Smith, George Housten, and Peter A. Bungart (1876–1948). "
