FOUND BY SETTLER.
Skull, Fossilized in Tertiary Sand
stone, Kept as Curiosity.

By the Associated Press.
RUENOS AIRES. February 27.-Dis-
covery of fossilized human skull of
the tertiary period has been announc-
just returned after two years of ex-
ploration in Patagonia on behalf of
La Plata Museum.
DR.. Wolf declared the fossilization
was that of tertiary sandstone and
that there was no doubt 1t was for
merly the skull of a human being.
not an accidental formation.
The lower jaw is missing, but other
wise the skull is almost perfect. The
eye sockets and. what is still more
convincing, the sockets of the teeth
in the upper jaw are clearly defined.
The Uranium is Tbng and oval. and the
forehead extremely low and sloping.
Picked Up by settler.
DR.. Wolf went to Patagonia prima-
ogy OF the Indians and found the
skull In the possession of a white
settler on the .Andean slope who pick
ed 1t up some years ago and, kept 1t
as a curiosity. 49,.
DR.. Wolf said he had left the fossil
In the possession of the settler, whose
property 1t was. and that he had sub
mitted data thereon to La Plata Mu-
scum for such action as the museum
cares to take to obtain 1t.
Finds Ancient Fort.
The scientist also announced the
discovery of ruins Of an ancient forti-
fed town in the unexplored region
north of Lake Cardiel, in the terri
tory of Santa Cruz. which he believes
to be remnants Of q civilization prob
ably earlier than that of the Peruvian
Incas.
I. Sections of walls forty-f1ve feet in
height. built of blocks each of three
cubic feet. cut out of basalt, are still
standing. The walls extend for a dis
tance of $50 yards between hills
which serve as buttresses. Within are
the ruins of habitationS.
There have been other evidences of
an ancient civilization in Patagonia,
but this is said to be the first dis
covery Of actual ruins. Some distance
farther south he found what was per-
haps an ancient thoroughfare along
which for more than a mile the rocks
were covered with similar inscrip-
tions.
VIII Seek Enchanted City.
After leaving his data with the mu-
scum DIR. Wolf plans to return to Pat
azonia next month when he is to
search for the "enchanted city" of
Patagonian Indian mythology, sup
posed to be situated in the Andes. He
believes that this place. which the
Indians refer to as the home Of the
sun god, will prove to be the ruins
Of another ancient city.

FOSSIL MAY PROVE
ORIGIN Of MAN
Skull Said to Antidate Glacial
Period, Found in South
America.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 21.-An-
thropologists said today that the fos-
silized human skull, believed to be of
the tertiary period, discovery Of which
was announced in Associated Press
dispatches from Buenos Aires last
night, may be the oldest human relic
ever unearthed.
II proved authentic. DR.. Franz Boas,
Columbia University anthropologist
and world famous scientist, asserted
that it would be even older. possibly
100000 years. than the skull of an
erect man-ape. known as the Pithe-
canthropus Erectus, which was found
In Java twenty-nine years ago. 1t
may even prove, he said. to be the
skull of one of earth's first men.
Antidates Glacial Age.
This discovery" DIR. Boas said,
will throw light upon this hitherto
unknown period. Scientists have
merely speculated upon the possible
existence of man in the tertiary pc
riod. although tracks pointing to the
existence of man-like animal have
been found on various rocks.
He explained that it was during
the tertiary period that the earth
assumed its present form and huge
reptiles were being replaced by NAM
mails.
Neanderthan Nam Seems Modern.
THE earliest man, scientists have
found, dates back to around the gIa-
cial period" DIR Boas continued. IF
il Is definitely established that man
existed In the tertiary period it will
upset all accepted scientific view re-
garding the American continents and
the antiquity Of man
The Neanderthal man, found in lime
stone caves in Prussia. was much
more recent and existed only about
100000 years ago, he said. The Gro
Magnon man. found in France. was
about 100000 years old. and was the
forerunncr of the present human race.
