Description

This black and white photograph depicts an excavation site. A large vertebrate fossil with various bones exposed in a rocky excavated area is in the center of the black and white photograph. Left of the fossil lies a stuffed burlap sack. A man dressed in bib overalls and a flat cap is covering a portion of the fossil with white plaster. The man is in the process of field jacketing the vertebrate fossil. Behind the man’s right leg is a metal bucket and pieces of cut burlap lying on the rocky incline. In the upper-right corner of the photograph, various handheld tools, a pickaxe and spade, are leaning against the rocky slope. Numbers are written below the photograph.
