ASHFALL FOSSIL BEDS
Gary Staab Sculptures
Fossils come to life
The “Battling Rhinos” and the “Ancient Tortoise”, commissioned by the Theodore and Claire Hubbard Foundation, were created by artist Gary Staab. These statues now grace the landscape and bring to life the fossils that lay partially excavated in the Hubbard Rhino Barn.
