Wade Stackho lb- Fossil Oceans ies ???? ill Great bodies of salt water are >jr countered by a large proportioc the wells sunk to depths below 1, ke feet.

Says School Science Jo Mathematics (Mt. Morris, 111., 0 vember), abstracting material i: recent folio Issued by the Un States Geological Survey: "How did this salt water get i *t- the porous rock?

In , ting one boring four beds of coal aggregating over eight feet in thickness and numerous thinner beds having iers an additional total thickness of six irge feet were found. In that region also lUch many outcropping layers of rock contain remains of marine Bhells, and the entire region was no doubt once covered by the sea. Indeed, the geo- ? nor" logist has been? able to decipher in PC an>t the rocks numerous details of the jout record of the advance and retreat of the sea and has been able to establish the fact that the region was sube of merged at several different times." s'ing ? ?
