General Notes

Note

This was the first successful excavation of mine of a dinosaur fossil. Dr. Hiatt and my brother Dennis and I plaster casted the jawbone and took it out on a stretcher made with an old lawnmower handle for a frame. A photo of Doc and I posing with the stretcher as we carry out the fossil can be seen on the cover of the book, Greg and Doc, Two Souls Surrounded by Badlands, Part II, Makoshika.
