Great photo. The hat seems to be left from doing some digging perhaps?

Smithsonian Institution said:
Orbitallens Thank you for your inquiry!
My colleague mentioned there are several photographs where scientists use hats during documentation to give a sense of proportion to the specimen photographed. She assumes this is a similar instance.
More information on the subject, please read Field Book Project blog post, "Hats off to collectors in the field."
Sincerely,

Smithsonian Institution Thanks for the heads up! I'm going to read that article you linked to. I looked at the photo again and the hat does make a big difference! Modern cameras might not need that sort of thing sometimes but that's due to technological discoveries in photography. Thanks again!
