Drill Touches Roman
Fossils of $4,000 B. &.

ROME. - Italian self-sufficiency
experts were surprised when the
drill of an oil well erected on the
site of the Circus Maximus, after
reaching the l,0OO-foot level sudden
~ plunged into muddy river bed
along which the Tiber river flowed
more than 10000 years ago.
The American oil drilling equip
ment, a feature of the Italian self
sufficiency exposition, had inadver-
tently made this years most impor-
tant archaeological discovery.
Samples of the river clay reveal
fossils that were deposited by the
Tiber l8 centuries before it shifted
to its present course and, according
to legend, bore Romulus and Remus.
the mythical founders of Rome, to
safety on its muddy waters.
The discovery makes the ruins of
Augustus Caesars ancient sports
stadium, which stands in venerable
contrast to the modern steel frame
