Now we go to the Federal Center, perhaps acouple miles
from the NEIC, Golden building. There were perhaps a dozen tents
set up for outdoor exhibits. Occasional rain sprinkles did interfere
somewhat. In the background is a gold panning exhibit. To the
right, is a large tent with quite afew tables and chairs for dining.

A large ammonite set up in the
dining tent. Perahps 15 inches across. More fossils were in
the large Federal Center building.

Were the USGS employees co-operative or what?
The geologist (Ask a scientist booth), is showing a femur of possibly a
mammoth in comparison to his own. The femur was unusally light for
a fossil.
