AVHEN AMERICA WAS YOUNG
The United States Geological sur
vey. has just published a report
which, though technical, neverthe
less embodies some interesting his
tory of the early ages of the North
American continent. It tells of the
rise and fall of a portion of the con
tineut millions of years ago, long
before the age of man, at a time
wheu strange beasts inhabited the
country, when the climate was sub
tropical, and when a peculiar swam
vegetation, flourished, the remains
of which were converted Into the
present great coal beds of the West.
Late in what Is termed by geo
logists "Carboniferous time," ac
cording to W. T. Lee, the author of
the report (Professional Paper 95
C), there were mountains in Colo-!
ra lo and New Mexico comparable to
the present Rocky mountains. Dur
ing (ne Trlassic period and much
of the Jurassic, which followed, a
timo to be measured in millions of
years, these mountains were erod
ed away. Late in the Jurassic per
iod a wide area had been worn
down eo near sea level that a
slight subsidence of the land al
lowed sea. water to enter from the
Pacific ocean and spread over Wy
omiug, northern Colorado, and east
ern Utah. Near the close of the
Jurassic a slight uplift expelled this
sea. After some time this area
began again to settle and the
streams spread fine sediments
over the bed of th<i Bhallow basin
lately occupied by the sea and over
the lowlying lands. This sub
sidence Introduced the Cretaceous
period and culminated in the occupa
tion of the region by a sea which
reached from Utah to the Mississip
pi valley and from the Gulf of
Mexico to the Arctic ocean.
The subsidence was slow at first
aa^ the stream spread their mud
uniformly over an area extending
fro-n New Mexico to Montana and
from Utah to Kansas. Only
small areas of the Rocky Mountain
region were not covered by them.
In the streams, swamps, anfi bay
ous of this early Cretaceous time
lived huge reptiles; some of them
were 85 feet long and 20 feet tall,
w'tii a bulk many times as great as
tne largest elephant of today. By
the close of Lower Cretaceous time
the water from the Gulf of Mexico
had spread over the graded plain
as far as the present Rocky, moun
tains. This invasion of the sea
wag followed, apparently without
great lapse of time, by a still great
er Invasion in the Upper Cretaceous
epoch.
The first deposits of Upper Cre
taceous age—the Dakota sandstone
—were spread out uniformly over
the level plain, which then in
cluded the whole area that was lat
er pushed up to form th>3 Rocky
mountains. Over these sands, which
were laid down along the advanc
ing front of the sea, were deposit
ed the marine sediments as the eea
moved forward. In its waters lived
grea* numbers of serpent-like swim
m'ng reptiles; and over It soared
pterodactyls, the fossil remains of
wh'ch show that they measured 18
feet from tip to tip of wings. On
its shores and in its waters sported
i large diving birds, which still re
tained the teeth inherited from
the'r reptilian ancestors.
Ou the shores of this sea, es
pecially along its western mar
gin, great swamps developed and
in them grew a variety of semitropi
cal plants, such as palm and fig
trees. The resulting carbonaceous

The uea did not attain its maximum
size at oucp. Prooabiy at no one
time was the whole interior frafiin
under water. The advance of tho
sea and the filling of the b.-ialn
it'Pt pace with each other, so that
sediments and fossils which indicate
nearness to shore and coal beds
wnich indicate swamps above sea
level are found at many positions
from bottom to top o1 the Upper
Cretaceous formations.
At the close of the Cretaceous
period notable changes were Pro
duced in the geography of the re
gion. The interior basin, which
had be*p subsiding throughout the
Cretaceous period, was now lifted;
its waters wore poured back into
the oceans, and thq mountains whoa
rooth bad teen buried were resusci
