L-R Russ Graham Mammoth Expert Penn State University, Greg Mc Donald National Park Service, Dave Warren DMNS Volunteer, and George Sparks DMNS President and CEO on knees holding discussion with unknown person in background. This may be the only excavation where construction workers worked side by side with museum volunteers to remove the largest number of fossils in a short amount of time. Bulldozer drives deftly removed tons of top burden while experienced volunteers sifted through the dirt. Some drivers distinguish when the blade hit rock, bone, or wood by the way "it felt". Snowmastodon Excavation Site, Ziegler Reservoir, Snowmass Village, CO 11/2010.
