Description

This black and white photograph features two men jacketing a fossil. Jacketing is constructing a plaster and burlap casing to place on the fossil after it has been excavated from the ground. The men are on top of a rocky butte. The man on the left holds a casing in his hands, while the other man sits next to a pile of rocks to the right. A couple of shovels are leaning against a rock, while a large pail is partially hidden behind it. More buttes are in the background, and a valley extends beyond them. A white border surrounds the photograph.
