Title
English: Collecting Fossils from Mammoth Cave Celiling
Description
English:

A man stands on a ladder to look at an area on the ceiling while another person holds the ladder steady.

Fossils are commonly located in the cave ceilings or walls, so researchers and volunteers must carefully collect them using small handheld tools. The team even hauls ladders into the cave to assist in their fossil collection when it is practical.
