Raymond has a Dohrenastu? from
the Madison limestone.
Leiosuchus and Pampay sclymptana
particularly characteristic of Cordillera, differ
Oernic and Mississipie.
The Dinchysus (Entelodon) skeleton is
the most impressive of mammal mounts here.
The head appears entirely too large for the
animal. The neck vertebrae do not suggest
the necessary strength to hold the head seen
in the flesh illustration. A finer skull than
this one is worked by Barton.
Two camel skeletons on slabs on
exhibition. One is very young but a few months
old. Both are perfect skeletons and the
older one even preserves the cartilage ribs.
This year Petersen has found two other
entire skeletons of these camels.
The incisor teeth of Dinchysus has
near grooves at their base. Petersen thinks
these are due to rooting.
