"Studying fossils gives stu dents a chronological per spective about what kind of animals lived In the past, that they Just can't get by looking only at living things." Ruben began assembling the vertebrate fossil collec tion, which now includes a major display In the main foyer of the university's Cord ley Hall, after receiving a Local Course Improvement Grant from the National Science Foundation.

Eventually, the professor wants to expand the program to give students the opportunity to do actual field studies at the Fossil Beds. "If you take the age of mammals-the last 60 million years-I don't think you'll find any specimens from any where that are better preserv ed than fossils from John Day." says Ruben. "And it's not only the quality of preser vation you find there, but also the unbroken sequence of preservation. "Other places have fossils, but they're bits and pieces of time.

"In order to collect fossils from the monument, estab lished by Congress in 1975. Ruben reached an agreement with the Park Service that pays dividends to both the university and the govern ment agency. Ruben and his students are allowed to collect specimens and. In return, the national monument receives fossils that have been prepar ed by OSU's zoology depart ment. "The reason the monument was established in 1975 was for the protection and scientific interpretation of the fossil NOTICE resource in the upper John Day Valley, and random collecting, of course, is il legal." says Benjamin Ladd. the national monument's su perintendent. "But we're a small monu ment with a small staff and we don't have the curatorial capabilities that larger insti tutions have. It's not our intent to maintain a large fossil collection, we Just don't have the facilities so we utilize the fossil resource by cooperating with institutions like Oregon State." says Ladd.

"We also have plans to take plastic casts of fossils, which to the untrained observer are virtually Identical to the real thing, and put them back where the original specimens were collected at the Fossil Beds and make in place ex hibits." says Ruben. "We want students and visitors to see what fossils look like when they're still in the ground. We also want to set up. in about one year's time, a program supported in part by OSlt and the Park Service where graduate students can conduct actual research at the Fossil Beds and publish their results." he adds.
