American Museam Geologists Make
Find of Remains of Horse, Ca
mel, Dog and Edentate
George Stoll and A. C. Whitford,
who have been In Dox Butte county
for several weeks, making explora
tions for the American Museum of
Natural History of New York City,
have made Important finds of pleist
ocene remains on the farm of Wm.
O'Mara, in the county.
A Herald reporter, In an Interview
with Mr. Stoll, received the follow
ing statement:
"Geologists divide the time during
which mammals have lived Into the
following ages: Paleocene, Eocene,
Ollgocene, Miocene, Pliocene, Pleist
ocene, and recent. During the first
three of these there were none of the
present animals In existence altho
some related forms had appeared
During the remaining the present
genera appeared. In the immediate
region around Alliance the forma
tions exposed begin with the Ollgo
cene and run on thru the remaining.
The Ollgocene appears in the Bad
Lands, and along the Scotts Bluff es
carpment. The Miocene is common
to the county and Is especially prom
inent around Point of Rocks and In
the western part of the county. The
Pliocene, In which it Is the purpose
of the present expedition to spend
most of the summer, is found In a
strip extending along the south fork
of the Snake Creek to Alliance and
along the Niobrara river as well as
In the bluffs about three miles north
of the North Platte. The Pleisto
cene, which it Is also the purpose of
the party to explore, Is found espec
ially along the Niobrara, and It Is In
this that the present work Is being
done. There seems to be a large
stretch of the country covered with
a mantel of Fleistocent clays and
sands. A quarry was opened south
of Hay Springs in 1903 by a party
from the American Museum and was
worked out.
"It has been the good fortune of
the present party to locate another
and a very extensive one. It Is lo
cated on the ranch of Wm. O'Mara
This new auarrr seems to be the
most extensive and best pleistocent
find In the United States. Up until
the present time there have been
found the remains of the following
creatures: horse .camel, dog, eden
tate, a relative of the ant eater, and
mammoth. . It Is by no means sure
