"at which is partly still Pennsylvania in times. Then comes the Kaibata fauna of the Grand Canyon and D.E. Arizona. Strjanne is now a full Professor. Last summer he worked in Mexico for two months for the Orbeitz Co and was paid $1000. The only interesting thing he told me that the Jurassic of the Las Delicias area began with a conglomerate that directly overlies the granite. Learned to think that the Orbeitz Co, were not anxious to learn much of the gelogy, but rather was mainly in display for his friend Cilles. Martin was also in the same area doing all this work from a hotel, reading his Alaskan Crustacean reports and trying to apply it to the Out. of Mexico. The Orbeitz Co are said to have had 20 cars in northern Mexico and as many geologists. Strj- anne thinks the whole northern area of Central Mexico has little chance for oil.
