TapN MTIMHWOAN DAILY___ TIMS DAY; MT OWOSSO FOSSIL: PU' Museum Will Assemble 20,000 Year Old Mastodol By JOHN NEHMAN "Owosso Mastodon," a mammal which roamed Michigan during the last days of the Ice Age about 20,000 years ago, is being assem- bled bone by bone in the Univer- sity Museum of Paleontology and will be completed by the end of this week, according to William H. Buettner, Preparator. Uncovered three years ago at the bottom of a bog 10 miles The wire-recorder, now making its first appearance on the com- mercial market, has already been put to use by the psychology de- partment, according to Prof. E. Lowell Kelly. Prof. Kelly said yesterday that the machine is being used as an automatic stenographer in record- ing practice student interviews, and in transcribing conference technique for research purposes. The wire-recorder proves use- ful to the student because it en- ables him. to hear how his voice sounds during a practice interview with other students, Prof. Kelly declared. In research work on conference techniques the wire-recorder is used to transcribe the complete proceedings for later analysis, Kel- ly said. The principle of recording on wire was conceived by a Danish scientist in 1898. Since then its development has been slow, al- though it was used by the armed services during the war for re- cording "on the spot" news in the European and South Pacific theatres of action. ,The commercial wire-recorder is going on display today at a downtown department store. The recordings are made on a spool of stainless steel wire, and will play back for an hour. If the wire breaks, a simple square knot will repair it without harming the wire and it may be used again.. northwest of Owosso, Michigan, the sub-fossil measures seven feet eight inches from its shoulder and is approximately 15 feet long from tail to tusk. In its position at the Museum it will be very near to two of its contemporaries in geological time, a huge beaver fossil of the ee Age and the remains of an ancient Musk Ox of Pleistocene time. Unique Specimen Mammute americanus, as zo- ologists call it, is a unique speci- men because all of the bones com- posing it came from the same in- dividual animal and all but a few were almost perfectly preserved. According to Buetner, it is the most complete mastodon ever found in Michigan. Excavated from the bottom of the peat bog just on top of a layer of hard blue clay in marl below the muck, the mammal is the Museum's newest sub-fossil addi- tion. Began A Year Ago Work was begun in the erection of the bones approximately a year ago, under the supervision of Dr. E. C. Case, emeritus, and Prof. C. W. Hibbard of the geology depart- ment. Carlton W. Angell, museum sculptor, molded the few missing pieces in the skeleton. The assembling job, Prof. Hib- bard said, is an exceedingly pains- taking job and requires usually from nine months to a year. The mastodon, he added,' is "right- handed and a female of the spe- cies. The fact that its right tusk is broken and worn smooth indicates that the breakage occurred during the life of the animal, and proves that it used the right tusk in pref- erence to the left.
