BIRDS TEETH
FOSSILS FOUND
IN CHALK BEDS

lawrence, Kan.-One Of the two
specimens in the world Of birds
teeth was found in the chalk beds
OF western Kansas and has been
preserved at the University Of Kan
sas museum, who found the speci-
men. The other specimen is at the
Yale university museaum. The
Kansas fossil Is of the cretaceous
period, about 25.0o0, 900 years ago
Ten teeth are included with the
fossil.
This is the second oldest known
type Of bird life. according to Pro
fessor Martin. It is the most COM
plete specimen that has been pre-
served. The bird was Of the Hes
perornis family. It was five feet
long, has a short vertebrae tail and
possessed no wings. It was a ma
rine bird and resembled the modern
penguin.
The earliest specimen of bird
that has been discovered had teeth, "
says Professor Martin. This
earliest type lived in the Jurassic
period. some 100000 years ago
anG specimens have been found in
the lithogarphic limestone beds Of
Germany. This type of bird was
about the size OF a crow and had
sharp. pointed teeth and a verte-
brae tail longer than the body, like
the dinosaur."
The specimen preserved at the
University OF Kansas y more vain
able than any other, according ia
Professor Martin, because it Eivee
clear idea Of the semi-plumaceous
feathery covering which the bird
possessed. No other known speci-
men gives this evidence.
