Description
This item features the black and white photo of a team of two horses working to pall a wheelbarrow full of rocks. One man is holding the reins of the horses and another man is behind the wheelbarrow. They are in a quarry that was being dug out to excavate fossils in the area on Jack Swayze's ranch in Clark County, Kansas. Large branches are propped up against the rock wall on the right of the photo. A large barrel, a wooden box and larges pieces of canvas or tarp are piled up together next to the branches. Shovels can be seen in the area behind the men.
