What u Geoioglst Believes.
Prof. j. C. Branncr, of Leland Stan
ford university, California, formerly
state gcologist of Arkansas, doesn't
| think the gold hunters in Carroll coun-
| ty will get anything but disappoint-
mcnt for their trouble. Concerning
the geologic history of north Arkansas,
he says; Nov, all the rocks of Carroll
county are what biologists call sedi-
mcntary; that is, they were originally
| laid down in water as mud, sand, peb-
| blcs or calcarcous oozc. The ocean
once covered all of north Arkansas,
SO that the water in which these
| deposits were made was salt water.
| This Is shown by the fossils IN the
rocks; these fossils are the remains of
corals and of such bivalves and other
animals as live in our salt water
When that region was under the sea
the nearest shore was in the vicinity of
Iron Mountain. Mo, and the scdi-
mcnts of which the rocks are made
were carried from that or some other
shore, or they sank to the bottom as
shells and skeletons of small marine
animals.
