Seeing the limited materials on hand to teach geology, Erwin H. Barbour and assistant went into the field to look for fossil and mineral samples. They started in Sioux County, Nebraska, renting a covered wagon for transport. On their first day out, they found large corkscrew fossils that Barbour named "Daemonelix" (or Devil's Corkscrew). It was the first of many new fossils Barbour added to the pool of paleontological knowledge during his career.
