Hello Everyone:
I've spent many years trying to track down all the information I could find available about a petrified dinosaur fossil named GENEVIEVE. The specimen was recovered from the London Mine near Alma, Colorado. Sometime after it was prepared for exhibition and put on display at Colorado College in August 1932, it disappeared from public view. The best newspaper report detailing the specimen along with a photograph is attached below. Does anyone have any further knowledge of this matter?

London Mine is a very pretty place.
