THIS WEEK MAGAZINE
BURIED ALIVE FOR SCIENCE
by Roy Chapman Andrews
Andrews

The mastodOns' unmarked grave was
buried deeply, hopelessly lost until it
was exposed again millions of years
later.
For five weeks we worked in that
deposit removing the finest collections
of shovel-tusk mastodons that the
world has ever seen.
In the very center Of the COBB one
of our collectors found the remains of
Baluehithertnm, the biggest mammal
that ever lived 1t had sunk in quick
sand and been fossilzed standing erect.
The worlds most famous death trap
is the tar pit of La Brea, near Los
Angeles, California. For untold GEN.
turies liquid tar has been bubbling up
from the bowels of the earth. Pools of
water lying on the surface brought the
giant sloth, the imperial mammoth,
the ancient bison and camel and many
other animals to drink The moment
their feet sank into the soft tar their
doom was sealed Like a fly on sticking
paper, every movement enmeshed
them more completely. As they lay
partly at the surface, the savage
saber- tooth tiger and the grim wolves
of the Ice Age saw masses of succulent
flesh awaiting their jaws. The leap
that carried them to the inviting meal
was a leap to death. They too sank
into the fatal tar before a mouthful
could be devoured,
In China, Doctor Walter Granger
spent two winters digging fossil bones
out of slnkholes in a limestone cliff
in which animals had fallen six mil
lion years ago Ancient ravines also

Animals that died on the plains
might have their bodies dismembered
and scattered for miles If they
drowned in rivers the skeletons were
usually disintegrated and broken But
when they sank in quicksand or in
bogs, or fell INTO ravines and crevices
in the rock, they were buried intact
IN sediment. and these are verltable

I'VE or six million years ago
great lake existed in the eastern
Z Cob Desert. The Central Aslatic
Expedition discovered the dry bed and
as we looked over the vast basin we
began to think. Doubtless in that
far dim past, bogs and quagmires
existed along the shores and animals
might have been trapped in them just
as they are in similar places today.
Our collectors searched the ancient
shore line and, sure enough, there were
a dozen spots where we found bones
buried like heap of jackstraws Six
miles from camp we made a great
discovery - one of the most remark
able IN archaeological history. 1t

as plain as though it had been inscribed
