IMPORTANCE OF AN ANCIENT
TOOTH.
Tho Discovery Of Few Fossils
Throws New Light on the Geology Of
Powder River Basin, Wyoming.

In the early days of paleontology it
was said that Culver, the great French
naturalist, could reconstruct an ex-
tinct animal from the study of
single fossil bone, and in a broad sense
this was true, though the actual skele-
ton when found may have differed in
detail from the theoretical restora-
| ton. To the geologist the bone of a
| fossil animal may also indicate an i'm
portant episode in the history of a
region and suggest the geologic age of
the rocks found there.
| A good example of the interesting
results that may follow the finding of
fossil tooth is given in Professional
| Paper l0S-D of the United States
| Geological Survey, Department of the
Interior. entitled "Wasatch fossil in
so called Fort Union beds of the Pow
| der River basin, Wyoming" by Carroll
| H. Wegemann. Most Of the broad
! area in northeastern Wyoming that
lies between the Black Hills, the Big
horn Mountains, and the Laramie
Mountains is underlain by Tertiary
rocks which contain the principal coal
beds of the region and have usually
been assigned to the Fort Union for
nation. The highest Of these rocks
are exposed near the center of the
basin. in Pumpkin Buttes, where
Coryphodon teeth We're recently found
in the upper 900 feet of beds that
had previously been called Fort Union.
But Coryphodon is a large mammal
that Is found only in the Wasatch
formation. later division Of the Ter
tiary system. On the evidence Of the
teeth, therefore. the conclusion is
reached that at least 1000 feet of
rocks in the Powder River basin are
Of Wasatch age, and other evidence
indicates that an additional thickness
Of 1,400 feet of underlying beds may
also he of Wasatch age. A brief dis
cussion of all the rocks above the
marine Cretaceous is given in the
paper, which may be- obtained on ap-
plication to the Director. u. s. Geolog-
ical Survey, Washington, D. G.
