Field trips in Kansas offered a variety of potential discoveries as not only had this State been covered by an inland sea, it was, and still is, a mecca for prehistoric finds such as the find shown below in the archeological dig of which Emil was part. "The Find" must have been shipped off eventually to some other museum in Kansas for it is not in the McPherson County Old Mil Museum where the Bethany College Museum Natural History Collection was headed in 1966.
These are "other finds" that were part of the Bethany College Museum Natural History Collection and are now at the McPherson County Old Mill Museum due to the 1966 move.
