PREHISTORIC BONES.
Chas. N. Gould Says Skeleton OF Long
Ago Elephant.

Chas. y. Gould, state geologist, visit
ed Mulhall. Okla, last week to exam
inc the pre- historic bones recently
found there. He re.orts that ,he re
mains are chiefly those of the skeleton
OF an ancestral form of elephant The
animal is commonly known to scient-
lists as Elephas primigenius, but other
wise spoken of as the Mastodon.
The fossils were moarthed by Mr..
II. f. Sears on his farm some five
miles southwest of the city. An eN-
cayation was being made for a tank
when the bones We're discovered. Mr..
Sears has dug down in places covering
a space of about 20 feet square and
has encountered skeleton remains in
each case, indicating the immense size
OF the bed Those remnants 50 far
recovered were in a poor state of pres
ervation and crumbled rapidly when
exposed to the air. However, a fair
ly good bone three feet long was Sc
cured, also tooth that weighed over
six pounds and measured ten inches
in length.
I'm connection with the MastoGou re
mains there were also several bones Of
buffalo and a number OF horses teeth.
Judging from the geologic occurrence
and condition of the fossils, Prof
Could thinks that all the animals were
probably mired down in a swamp or
bog in some prehistoric day and so
perished there.
The finding of Mastodon remains is
no longer a rare thing in Oklahoma;
probably fifty or more skeletons have
been unearthed in the last few years
Recently few bones We're discovered
near Lawton and it has been known
for some time that there was a fossil
bed of this nature near Miami
1t is conceded by Ualeontologists
that this state was once the home of
mommoth. probably during later Ter
tiary or Pliestocene era, which geo
logically speaking was very recent;
but as historian counts time it must
have been from 10000 to $4,000 years
ago. In appearance the animal was
not unlike the modern African ele-
phant, only nearly twice as large and
with long curving tusks. He is known
to have ranged over North America,
Europe, Asia and perhaps other parts
of the world. At that time there was
now eBring Strait and hence the
Mastodon were able to roam far and
wide.
So far the best specimen of bones
OF this animal found in America have
been unearthed near St Louis Mo.
From this place many of the skeletons
in the museums have been taken.
There is, however, in general false
idea as to the value of mastodon
bones; for in reality they are on'y
worth whatever some collector or
museum is willing to pay for them. \
perfect remains in good state Of pres
ervation will bring several hundred
dollars, but it is rarely that good spec
linens are found 1t was only recently
that the National Museum at Wash
ington had an intact skeleton.
All the fossil bones OF mastodons
so far found in Oklahoma have been
fragmentary or else SO soft that re
moval was impossible; this is true of
those near Mulhall. Mr.. Gould hopes
to secure a good specimen for the
museum at the State University ana
may eventually do so.
