akeletal rerftnanti of monster exist

eoUeeted for th University of Wtl

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.

drop to 745 early in 1934.
The steady Increase during the
