Texas Profs
Find Fossils
7n Heart of
BURKVILLE, Tex. (ACP). In
pasture gulleys near this east
Texas village, scientists have found
fossil remains which link this area
with the geologically important
Miocene period of about 12 mil
lion years ago.
Dr. C. J. Hesse, assistant cura
tor of the Texas A. and M. college
museum, who, with Dr. F. E.
Turner of the same school and Dr.
H. B. Stenzel of the University of
Texas, visited the area recently,
found the fossils.
'
Horses and Beavers.
Dr. Turner found the lower jaw
of a fossil horse and Dr. Hesse dis
covered the skull of a fossil beaver.
The animal was related to the
beaver, Dr. Hesse said, but was
larger and had many points of dif
ference. However, even in the far
off times of the stone age, it prob
ably lived in the streams and built
dams of trees as our beavers do
today.
