Summary edit

Description
English: 1931. Image of two expedition members lifting a piece of a Titanotherium fossil. The men are surrounded by other fossils and excavation equipment. The caption on the back of the image reads, "Sp. 22-27 Titanotherium. Removing the pelvic arch from the rest of the skeleton after it has been plastered on top." Scientific field research headed by Charles W. Gilmore, curator of vertebrate paleontology for the U.S. National Museum (USNM), now known as the National Museum of Natural History, was conducted in 1931 and 1932. The expedition covered the Miocene and Oligocene formations of southwestern Montana and the Bighorn Basin in Wyoming. Expedition members sent back fossils to the USNM for research and display.
