Fossils brought back from Baffin
land by Prof. Lawrence M. Gould are
being identified by Prof. Russel C.
Huss'ey of the geology department.
Gould discovered the fossils while ex-
ploring Baffin Bay as a member of the
Putnam Baffin Bay expedition. Corals,
sponges, snails, and crutaceans are
Included in the collection.
These fossils were laid down one
hundred million years ago during the
Palezoic age, according to Professor
Hussey, during the Trenton and Rich-
mond horizons. During this age the
wIole of North America sank and
the land was covered by a sea that
came from the arctic regions. The
climate was unusually warm and
there was an .bundant growth of sea
life. There Were no vertebrate ani-
mals at this time, he said.
"The coral fossils which Professor
Gould found grew in shallow water
that must have been as warm as 68
degrees. Sub-tropic conditions exist-
ed at that timeas- far north as Green-
land," Profesosr Hussey said. "The,
comparative shallowness enabled the
coral to grow and the grea. span of
the sea helped to spread the sea ani-
mals uniformly over North America.
Specimens brought back by Professor
GWd aire idential xhh some speci-
mens found ir.then Michirain and
Minnesota, whchi proves the enormous
size of the se iat that time."
Are'ft New Fossils
"Professor Gould did not discover
any new fossils, but only ti new loca-
tion for them. The fossils of Baffin
were studied by Charles Schuchert1
who visited that region in 1897 as a
member of the seventh Peary Arctic
expedition."
Gould discovered the fossils forty
miles inland on a high mesa which,
the party christened "Putnam High-t
land." He had hoped to correlate the
outcrops of fossils in that northern,
region with those found further south
in America. The big snail shells of
the collection ar covered with lime-
stone from the countless time whenf
they lay on the bottom of the sea.
During the ice age they were proba-
bly buried below tons of ice. When
they were found last summer they
were in almost perfect condition.
A report is being prepared by Gould1
and Hussey on the results of the dis-
covery. Gould plans to present them
in a speech given at the annual meet-
ing of geologists at Cleveland, Ohio,
during the Christmas holidays and a
written report will appear sometime
in March.

ELIMINATES BAD HAZARD'
LANSING, Nov. 25.-The state pub-
lie utilities commission recently au-
thorized a grade separation between
the Ann Arbor cutoff on M17 and the
Ann Arbor railroad. This cutoff has
been designed to carry through-traffic
on the Detroit-Chicago road away
from the congested streets of Ann Ar-
bor.
Vehicular traffic over M17 is very
heavy, especially after football games,
but ordinarily more than 6,000 autos
crowd the road daily. The separa-
tion was regarded as necessary to
eliminate traffic hazards.
