into dirt when expoeed. The remains,
he aald, extended over an area about
33 feet long.
Several teeth the sine of a man'
arm were preserved as well aa severs!
pieces of what are thought to b !et
bones and other fragments, a few o.
which are petrified.
Mr. Huasong aald Brewer'a discovery
La the fourth of Ha kind In this vicini
ty, bones having been unearthed re
cently in th Table Bock. Antelope
and Griffin creek areas. He aald in
all oases the bonea were burled in the
aam kind of blue clay, which was
washed Into the valley during the Ice
age, followed by atones and earth
pushed down from higher elevations
by melting glaciers.
The professor stated the ancient
elephants are not to be confused with
dinosaurs, which were In no way re
lated and Ured millions of yeaa
earlier.
The elephant, he said, ver huge
hstry animal highest at th shoul
