Taylor Studies Fossil Forms
Dr. E. H. Taylor, professor or zoology, has recently received two interesting fossils for study and identification.
The first, sent to Taylor by Dr. Curtis Hesse, a graduate of the University of Kansas, dates back to the middle Miocene period and was found in central Texas. The fossil has been identified as that of a large worm-like reptile, possibly 2 feet long, and lacking legs. It is remarkable in that it is only the second specimen of reptile that has even been found in the Miocene layer. This animal is thought to be about 25 million years old. There is one living relative in the United States, a small worm-like form living in Florida.
The second fossil is from Princeton University and was discovered in the strata laid down during the Paleocene era. This specimen is an amphibian and belonged to an elongated salamander-like animal probably also leg-less. The unusual thing about this fossil is that it is the first known amphibian to be found in the Paleocene period. It is thought that the animal to which this fossil belonged was about 15 inches long. The age has been estimated at approximately 70 million years.
Polish club at University of Toledo has awarded three scholarships for the current year.
