WPA Workers with Fossil (IMAGE)
Caption
A new study of fossils dug up in Texas during the Great Depression offers the best look yet of an ancient environment that was once home to a diverse array of animals including camels, rhinos, alligators and an ancient elephant relative. Glen Evans (left), who managed much of the Works Progress Administration's effort to collect Texas fossils, is pictured here carrying a fossil in a field jacket with a worker.
