Limb-Bone Of Ancient Camel Found An odd-shaped bone found by C. A. Dunn, local coniracior, while doing excavation work on the Klamath airport some time ago, has been identified as the limb-bone of a large camel by Dr E. L. Packard of the Ore gon State college department ot geology. The specimen was found in a bed of sand about fifteen feet below the surface of the airport. It represents the fused third and fourth metacamal. which is known as a cannon-bone, and . rnrresnonds to the middle palm bones of man. That bone is eas- ily distinguished from the cannon-bone of other even-toed hoofed animals, like the sheep, cattle, or deer, by the "V -shaped notch at the lower end and the widely separated artic ular surfaces with their sharp keels confined to the posterior side, according to Dr. facKara. The occurrence in beds laid down at a time when the Klam ath lakes were more extensive than at present indicates that this camel may have been one of the late survivors, perhaps contemporaneous with a camel found in Lower Klamath lake region and reported by Dr. L. S. Cressman of the University of Oregon as associated with ex tinct horses and possibly mam moths and man. An associa tion of camels and early man ap pears certain as results of studies of the occupational site at the Paisley Caves in Central Oregon. The evidence from Lower Klam ath lake suggests that camels were living as late as 7500 years ago. Camels were at home In Ore gon in the Ice Age, for they had originated in North America . some 40 millions of years earlier and did not migrate to Asia or South America, where the Llamas are now living, until . just before the Ice Age. The j earliest forms are known from j the John Day beds where Thomas : Condon found a primitive camel the size of a sheep associated : with three-toed horses. The evidence for Pleistocene, ; or Ice Age, camels in Oregon is : meager, and in no case has a ; well-preserved skull or more than a few fragmentary limb 1 bones been found. They have j been reported from Fossil Lake ! beds. Summer Lake, Paisley j Cave, Lower Klamath lake, Day-1 ville, Cold Springs, Umatilla I county, and Portland. i This specimen represents a ; very large form, and may tenta- i tively be referred to Camelops, which has been previously re ported from Oregon, and to which genus the Fossil Lake t species vitakerianus has been i referred. The discovery is im portant since it adds evidence to the late survival of one of the Ice Age groups which for some unknown reason became extinct in North America not many thousands of years ago. 2 Oregon Legion Posts Rank High INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 31 (P) Two Oregon American Legion posts were among the 455 which enrolled 1000 or more members during 1946 according to a national headquarters re port today.
