Evidences of a mighty battle which took
place 1900, 900 years ago, have Just been
received at the American Museum of Nat
ural History in New York, saws a CORE
spondent from that city. 1t was fought
between two of the biggest animals that
ever lived, one a herbivorous dinosaur
terrible lizard) about 90 feet long and
tall enough to wade across the Hudson
river at Grants tomb without wetting his
head and the other a flesh eating dinosaur
probably 25 or 80 feet long and weighing
30 or 40 tons
The details of this battle are as CT. arly
known as If it had happened yesterday
and the body of the monstr0us victim lies
Outstretched in Central park. for Dr.
Workman, who has charge of the museum 8
field work in paleontology, has read the
story of the fight in the skeleton which he
unearthed and brought to New York, a
part of shipment of two whole carloads
of huge boLes
The fight took place in what is now the
state of Wyoming, which was then the
shore of great inland sea which extend
cd in a nOrtherly and stoutherly direction
through the center of the United States.
Here among the tropical grass and palms
these huge and terrible animals lived and
waded, and here those that ate flesh proved
upon those that fed on vegetation, Just as
the lesser Hnimals do today When the
huge dinosaur, the skeleton of which DR.
Workman has found, was killed, it sank
down in the soft ooze and there, as the sea
receded, 10 slowly petrifled and lay for
1000, 900 years. And there It was un-
earthed and photographed. Along it's enor-
nous tail bones DIR. Workman has found
deep ridges showing where It's enemy
claws struck down and stripped off the
flesh, and some of the lower vertebrae are
entirely broken off, giving some idea of
the awful violence of the attack.
The flesh eating dinosaur, which was
something the shape of an enormous kan.
CARGO, must have orept up from behind
and taken its prey by surprise, as a tiger
falls on an OK, and by the ferceness of the
onslaught overcame an animal twice its
size. Inasmuch as there is no evidence of
the bones having attempted to mend them
selves, the attack must have caused the
death of the herbivorous animal.
