Want To Buy
 A DinOsaur Track?
Associated PresS)

Many New Englanders deal in antiques, but Carlton Nash un- doubtedly deals in the oldest of all.
 The South Hadley geologiSt ad- vertiseS and sells 'dinoSaur tracks for moderns" - fossil footprints made by giant reptiles supposed to have died up to l25 million years ago.
 He quarrieS the tracks out of two acres of rock in the nearby foothills of the Mt. Holyoke range. MT. Nash discovered the rich de- posit of fossils and has been work ing it since 1889
 He has taken out more than 2,O00 prints. Some of them still can be seen in the curio room of MT. Nash's 235-year-old home stead. But most have been sold to collectors and householders, who use them for ash trays. door stops, paperWeights, and in rock gardens, flagStone walks and the like.
 In Mir. Nash's three-page cata- log he prints photograph of a fireplace with a panel of two tracks on the mantel and remarks: "A fascinating conversation evol- , yes from this idea"
 Prices for tWenty-four num- bered items range from S5.75 for "NO. 4, a five-inch track" to $l,25O for "No. 202," a long panel of seven huge footprints.
 Prices change as the supply is depleted" note explains, flor stock is out of production, since the dinosaurs became extinct many years ago."
 MT. Nash learned geology at Amherst College. Back in 1902, an ancestor of his had uncovered what he called tracks of "Noah'S raven" MT. Nash, at nineteen, dug in spot about a mile from there and found the rich deposit of fos- sils from which he now makes a living.
 He figures the place must have tracks petrified in iron-bearing clay, sinking under newer soil layers, and came to the top again through volcanic action and ero- sion. One footprint he found is twenty-three inches long.
