about its centre to the grandient mountain yet seen, In the upper zone found a fragment of Titan otherwises jaw with the last molar. Also was a large cervical and rib bones. The red granite only comes into view where absent but at about the same distance occur a lot of much coloured hard red clay leaving the bones. Turtle trous occurs above. Just a number of pictures to show the excavation all one of the Museum's kids. On the eroded sheer sides occur a number of joints which are gradually killed by erosion the day for the roots. Some of these trees seem perched on stilts, Prof Knight thinks that by cutting down a number of them and counting the young ones and the height of older ones and can get at the age of Datewhile, Taking the average growth of these trees an average over the crater at three feet and the average width of the hole can 3 miles to the centre one gets as a result an age of crater.
