description:

From left Museum Chief Preparateur, Philip Reinheimer and an unidentified man at Trigonias Quarry located near Horsetail Creek. Adobe structure along with buckets, supplies and excavation landscape visible. The excavation site was quite significant yielding the remains of a variety of prehistoric rhinoceroses including at least three complete Trigonias skeletons as well as at least thirty-seven skulls, fifty-nine pairs of mandibles, eight pelvic girdles, eight trays of vertebrae, several complete sets of ribs, and numerous limb bones. Duplicate fossils were used in exchange with various institutions across the country including The Field Museum and Harvard University.
