I would be interested in going to find out more as I live just outside DC.
If anyone has prior experience getting access to Smithsonian storage items
that might help me make progress

To Graham and any others--

I am pretty sure this was mentioned/suggested before, but... What is the 
possibility of obtaining a chemical analysis of the sinter from these (both) 
cones? Any more, a really teensy piect would be sufficient, and then with luck it 
could be matched to modern Yellowstone.

I will say this-- when I first saw the photo of the display cone and heard 
the number of vents, I immediately thought of Avalanche. Now Graham say the 
Smithsonian says Gibbon Geyser Basin. So....
