Text Appearing Before Image:
One of the specimens was the thighbone of a duck-billed dinosaur, which was collected in pieces, and mended together back in Ottawa. At the end of the season McConnell stored the equipment at Fort MacLeod, and it is interesting to note that the transport consisted of one wagon, two carts, one buckboard, and a canvas canoe, with seven horses of which at least three were used for riding. When Dawson returned to the west in 1883, McConnell was assigned to his own survey of the Cypress Hills region, in what is now southeastern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan. It was during this exploration that he discovered the Oligocene mammalian fossils of the Cypress Hills formation (McConnell, 1885). Meanwhile, Dawson's new assistant was J. B. Tyrrell, of whom more later. However, the responsibility for collecting fossils was assigned to another m.ember of the Geological Survey, Thomas Chesmer Weston. His interesting autobiography (Weston, 1899) tells us much about the staff and the work of the Geological Survey of Canada during the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Weston was born in Birmingham, England, in 1832, and grew up as an assistant in his father's jewellery and lapidary shop. This experience qualified him for the position of lapidary for the Geological Survey of Canada, which he joined in 1858, under the first Director, Sir William Logan. Weston not only prepared polished specimens and thin sections of rocks and minerals, but he developed into an enthusias- tic field collector, and travelled extensively in eastern Canada, adding to the mineral and fossil collections of the Survey. In 1883 he was assigned R. G. McConnell in the field, 1902. G.S.C., No. 9485-B6.
