Description: The success of the Koobi Fora expeditions in discovering a wide range of important new fossils is largely due to the existence of a highly trained and very skilled team of fossil hunters. Their activities are coordinated by Richard Leakey and they are lead in the field by Mr. Kamoya Kimeu, who has been professionally engaged in this pursuit for more than 15 years. Here the fossil hunting team is seen in the field.
