remains of animals that lived In the shallow tropical sea that covered this region some million years ago You can find corals clams marine snails and sea lilies and the striking thing about all of them is that they are varieties species that are now extinct In fact this Is the striking thing about Ihe whole of the geological record Fossils are found in rocks dating all the way back to more than billion years ago and most of the species found are extinct In other words extinction is the rule rather than the exception in the history of life The classic example that everybody has heard about is the group of animals called dinosaurs These reptiles began to conquer the land surface of the earth about million years ago By the 100 million year mark they evolved into a wide variety of living things that had colonized every continent Some forms had even gone back living In the sea like their amphibian ancestors and others had developed wings though probably for gliding rather than true flight The dinosaurs varied in size from small chicken like reptiles to enormous CO ton monsters like which have been forced to live partly immersed In water in order to support its own weight remains of such animals are found today in the badlands of southern At Why did these animals that once ruled the earth become extinct There ore many theories ranging from the bizarre to the plausible One possibility arises from the fact that the earth magnetic field holds a shield of charged particles around the plant and this cuts down the amount of lethal radiation reaching the earth from space If the earth magnetic field were o die down the shield would disperse and lethal dose of radiation would reach the surface Strangely enough the earth New Farmer deputy James Stewart will join Young

replaced Jim Committee was advised at lis McQueen meeting Wednesday Stewart is currently cm ployed with Ihe Ham Hon Board of He replaces John Young who held that post for a short magnetic field does die down periodically and maybe it did when the dlsosaurs died out about million years ago But why weren t all animals and plants killed off Probably some species are more tolerant than others In the amount and type of radiation they can withstand When we look at the earth today we find and it is possible that the dinosaurs died out because they could not compete with these more efficient animals It Is equally possible that an even more efficient and adaptable Is now developing that will one day perhaps millions of years hence replace the mammals including the Primates to which we all belong
