MORNING REGISTER, EUGENE, ORE., SUNDAY, JULY 9. 1922 r BIGHT FOSSILS FOUND ill CIS BY VARSITY GEOLOGISTS Oregon's Marble Halls May Also Be Mausoleum DISCOVERYisIMPORTANT Parly of Innwtlgntoni May Be Or canUtnl by Dr. Packard to Make Excavation E OUT-OF- TOWN CUSTOMERS - Shop by Mail at Sch nefers Bros. Oregon's marble halls, the famous Josephine caves, which have attract ed over 2,000 tourists since the open ing of the highway the Inter part of June, If) nlso a macule mausoleum an archive of the nfiea having been stored unilor ita stalactlc Incrusta tions a, fossilized record of faunal life which In all probability lived on the western shores of this continent at that distant geologic time when man first appeared upon the earth. I'ni- verslty of Oregon paleontology ami geology students led by Dr. Earl Packard, head of the university de partment of geology, last Thursday found animal bones In caverns never visited by tourists and it is the belief of Dr. Packard that the caves or southern Oregon will reveal to science not only a history of the distant past a past which stretches in All prob ability back beyond the time when glaciers slowly crept southward over the continent but will also give to geologists a more accurate knowledge concerning1 the time when the Klam ath mountain ay at em was raised from a level plain into lofty ranges of met amorphic and igneuous rocks. Guide Finds Bones X-ast spring. Pick Rowley; official : cave guide, found in the castellated I caverns far underground and over 3,000 feet from the nearest entrance the -bones of mammals and a well preserved tusk similar to that of the sabre toothed tiger. These bones have recently been sent to the Smithsonian Institute for determination and if it is found that they are the fossil re mains of Cenozoic animals Dr. Pack ard believes that the Oregon caves wilt, receive the attention of geolo gists In all Darts of the world. rom data gathered by the university geol ogists it appears likely that the bones taken from, the caves will be deter mined as Pleistocene In age. and if such is the case Dr. Packard points out their value will be enhanced since fossils of the Pleistocene, known as the Ice age, are needed to Till In the gaps of geologfo history. Pleistocene faunas have been found only in two other caves, the Samwell and Haw ver caves of California. Bones taken from shelves and crevices of the caverns by the uni versity geologists last Thursday dur ing the reconnoissance survey in cluded parts of rodents and ungulates. Considerable time must elapse before the identity of 'the species can be determined (since the fauna- of the Pleistocene' Is very similar to recent Jbuna, there being only varietal dif ferences, according to Dr. Packard. The bones were obtained by the uni versity party with considerable dif ficulty as it was necessary to crawl on hands and knees hundreds of feet into narrow wet fissures, with only the dim light of a carbide lamp to light the way. Some of the bones were found.mwied . deeply under stalactlc material, showing that they were id place for many centuries. , Excavations May Be Made Should the bones prove to be fossils of pre-glacial fauna. "Dr. Packard has expresed his intention of- organizing a.party to excavate in the caves. The Smithsonian Institute has precedence over the 'university department of geology, but If the Institute decides to organize an expedition it la prob able that Dr. Packard will co-operate -with the Smithsonian scientists. Concerning the manner in which the hones were deposited m tne caves, Tr. Packard has advanced two hy--Dotheses. One is that carnivores car ried the remains of 'their prey ino their cavernous dens, but this seems improbable, asserted Dr. FncKura since the bones were found 3.300 feet from the nearest entrance. Mr. How ley, cave guide, docs not believe that modern animals will go so far Into the darkness of the earth. The other hypothesis is that the water which is constantly running through the caves has -carried the bones from the sur face and deposited them' underground. If this assumption is true, the fossils will be found to be of great age as they were discovered in a part of the caverns known as the old "caves ubterraneaa channels carved from the limestone formation innumerable centuries ago. .The party of university geologists spent two weeks examining a limited area In the vicinity of Medford and while there discovered 1G new species of marine fossils and many compli cated geologic formations. Dr. Pack ard, Professor J. H. Jonte, of the CoKj lege of the Pacific; San Jose, Ca!.. and the students walked from Med ford to the Oregon caves. Dr. Packard Is still in southern Oregon looking over the Cretaceous forma tions in the vicinity of Waldo. S.P. WITHDRAWS OPPOSITION TO MOSS STREET IMPROVEMENT City Council Expected to Dispose of Matter at Meting to Bo Held Monday Night : The Southern Pacific company has withdrawn ita objections to paving Moss street In Fairmount, according to members of the city council, and it Is expected that the improvement project will come up for final con sideration at the meeting of the coun cil Monday night, although no defin ite decision, It Is Bald, has been reached as to the time to dispose of the question which has been the cause of a great deal of comment and some ill feel ng.
