l.c. printed: THE BUILDING THAT MADE THE FOSSIL FAMOUS
Verso:
u.l. to l.l. printed: THE WORLD'S STRANGEST BUILDING \ Is the only building in the world made of \ Dinosaur bones. Truly an anatomical study of \ the world's strangest monsters; 5796 of their \ bones, weighing 102,116 pounds, are in its walls. \ One to two hundred million years ago, this \ bone structure, now petrified, was the framework \ for physical houses in which lived these ani- \ mals; the largest land creatures ever created. \ So in reality, you now see the oldest bone house \ of creation on this planet. \ These torpid reptiles, extinct sixty million \ years, thrived in torrid heat for an estimated \ period of one hundred-forty million years, in \ lands known as WYOMING now. Scientific \ scholars say such early bodies formed many of \ earth's oil deposits. \\ In effect this strange house is a 5796 page \ book of creational hieroglyphics, symbolic of \ strange ages; from the most extensively exposed \ Dinosaur graveyard on earth, Como Bluff, \ Wyoming, where Creation petrified its history. \ EDWARD R. BOYLAN, Curator.
