An eerie story of Washington
as it appeared when dinosaurs
patrolled Capitol Hill before the
appearance of man has been un-
folded for the United States
Geological Survey by Mrs. Martha
Carr, geologist. of the Argonne
Apartments.
Historical data covering span
of over a billion years has been
cleaned by Mrs. Carr and pre-
sented in a newly published study
of the rocks and fossils of this
area.
Her story reaches back to the
timeless pre-Cambrian era when
the earth's molten mass was COOL
ing off to produce the ancient
GRANTEES found around Washing
ton. That was a good billion years
before there were living things
on earth, according to the pub
lcation.
Marks Left in Mud.
AS life come to Washington
hundreds of millions of years ago
it left its marks in the ooze. These
marks told the trained eye of
Mrs. Carr that in the early Gre
taceous time Washington was an
area of luxuriant semiswamp-
lands and turbulent streams.
Fossils she examined revealed
that lotion dinosaurs roamed the
swamps and monStrous crocodiles
and sharks swan in the streams.
A huge fragment of a bron-
tosaurus' femur, the long thigh
bone, was uncovered by workmen
excavating in the vicinity of
Bryant street near First street
NV. in 1912. Scientists at the
National Museum estimated the
animal from which it came was
about so feet long and 10 feet
high. The brontosaurus was of
the herbiyorous group of dino
saurS.
Leg Bone Discovered.
A leg bone of one of the flesh
eaters, either ceratosaurus or
megalosaurus, was discovered
earlier As feet below the surface
while workmen were digging a
sewer in F street between First
and Second streets Sc. Another
dinosaur bone was found in the
Northeast section.
Mrs. Carr's report. prepared as
a Semi-popular study, was pub
lished in response to requests for
such a volume from teachers and
students in the Washington area.
1t cites numerous city locations
where ancient forms of plant and
animal life have been located.
Her work replaces a study by
the late N. H. Darton and Arthur
Keith published by the Geological
Survey in 1901, which is now a
collectors item. Mrs. Carr studied
District geology with Mr.. Darton
There is gap of some 1863 mil
lion years in District history. ac-
cording to the study, during which
no record of geologic events has
been preserved. During that long
interval the rugged mountains
that once covered the Washing
ton area were gradually worn
down until there remained only
an upland plain.
Washington escaped the great
glaciers that covered the northern
part of the continent, but boulders
transported from them down tur-
bulent streams have been found
here. Predecessors of the Potomac
and AnacoStia Rivers cut terraces
in the District at various levels
finally reaching the present flats
along the waterfront.
