PAGE SEVEN E AGES OLD OF POISONED BAKING SODA KILLS 3 MADISON, Wis. -(UP) Strange akeletal rerftnanti of monster exist ing 40,000.000 yeara ago have been eoUeeted for th University of Wtl consln geological museum from Dev onian rock scattered along Milwaukee county park roads by WPA workera. era. Gilbert O. Ran sen, truiator. learn ing that WPA workmen deepening the Wtlwaukee river to prevent flood were digging out rock pf the Devon ian age. or "age of fishes," obtained hundreds of specimens on the project alte and along the roads where the rock from It waa dsltributd. Hia finds cincluded remains of scales from the ancient sluggish water beasts, segments of cutting bones which served them as teeth, parts of fin and dorsal spines, and portions of the hard skull plates which, ar mored the first back-boned animals known to the world. Retreat of the Devonian age eome 40,000.000 years ago left Imbedded In the last Wisconsin rock formation to be laid down the remains of the dom inating water life of the period com prising some 40 varieties of fish ani mals, according to geological inter pretationa explained by Raasch. The large size attained by some of the animals is demonstrated by a recon structed skull in a Buffalo museum which is large enough for a man to crawl through Its Jaws, he said. Specimens of this interesting geo logical period first were uncovered years ago when a company found that the rack a water lime waa natural cement, but the university failed to obtain any of them before changing production methoda result ed in abandonment of the digging 30 years ago. Many of the Devonian fish were heavy and sluggish with head and fore-body heavily armored, the re malnder covered with thick scales, Baaarh said. The larger ones must have fed on those smaller, since little Other food apparently waa available. The Devonian sea probably covered much of V constn extending farther Inland than Milwaukee. Raasch said. The age waa termed Devon n tan be cause it was first studied from de posit unearthed at Devonshire, Eng Several widely scattered deposit are known In North America. Deposits from the Silurian period Immediately preceding the Devonian also have been found In Milwaukee county near Wauwatos where speci mens of coral, shellfish and trUobltes have been picked up. rwT- - rT- "OTTTI Jl ..A.
