Paleobiologist G. Arthur Cooper worked for the US National Museum for much of the twentieth century. These brief field notes of his take us to West Texas in 1968. The square-gridded pages and mixed pen and pencil notes evoke the mid-century and bring an added sense of time and place to Cooper's notes and observations.
