WASHINGTON. — Digging bark
back about 25,000,000 years into the
records of life on this continent, Dr.
Charles W. Gilmore has added to the
Smithsonian Institution’s collection a
number of new specimens of foot
prints and trails of long extinct an
imals as a result of his most recent
trip to the Grand Canyon National
Park.
I)r. Gilmore, who is curator of pa
leontology of the National Museum
and who has recently been in Florida
seeking evidence to determine
whether man existed in America be
fore the end of the glacial age, has
just completed his account of his
third expedition, last year, to the
Grand Canyon.
As a result of this trip, which was
made with the financial assistance of
the Grand Canyon exhibit committee
of the National A cadency of Sciences,
the known geographical .range of the
fossil tracks in the .region were con
siderably extended.
All the trails, he said, were. made
by invertebrate animals. It is clearjy
indicated that a great number of
these creatures crawled about there
in the moist sand before nature had
built up the. mountain through .which
the Colorado river for countless years
has been slowly cutting its channaL
That sand now in the form of sand
stone strata 900 or more than yum
feet from the present top of the
mountain, bears the record of their
existence.
Dr. David White, of .the United!
States Geological Survey and home |
secretary of the National Academy, I
who accompanied him, discovered |
trails of extinct animals in associa-1
tion with fossil plants. Dr. Gilmore
relates, in two widely separate locali
ties, on the Bright Angel Trail. and
the Yaki Trail. The plants were in
an excellent state of preservation.
G. E. Sturdevant, Grand Canyon
National Park naturalist, another
member of the party, .found .a slab of
well-preserved tracks on the on the
Bright Angel Trail, and subsequently
has announced the discovery of fossil
tracks in two geological'.formations
on the north trim of the canyon, fur
ther extending the range described by
Dr. Gilmore.
