content: Edited film made by Martin Moyer for educational use is the story of the numerous lava flows which have made the Columbia Plateau, showing how they entombed ancient trees, silt-bed fossils, and at least one prehistoric rhinoceros. Points out the effect of glacial melt-water action which carved the Grand Coulee and left the skeleton of the world's greatest waterfall. Narrator and collaborator is Albert H. Culverwell, Hisotrian and director of Research for Washington State Parks.
