THE AGE CF MAMMALS.
HOW THE EARTH LOOKED DX
FORE THE AGE OF MAN.
Gradual Attainment of the Earth's |
Present Outlines Wonders of the
Tertiary Age--The Mammoth Ani.
mals Which Ounce Roamed Over
North America,
With the tertiary age, or the age of
mammals, modern history of geological
times began. During this age the North
American continent gradually attained |
its present geographical outlines. As |
the continent, especially its western por
tion, continued to rise above the level of
the ocean, the great sea of the cretaceous
period, which extended from the Mex- |
ican Gulf toward the Arctic Ocean, ut |
first became a vast inlaud sea. Subse- |
quently, as the elevation of land contin- |
ued, this great sca was gradually broken
upinto several great lakes, existing be-
tween Western Dakota, Nebraska, Kan- |
sas and Texas and Eastern Oregon and |
Southeastern California. Further up-
lifting of the western portion of the con-
tinent gradually caused also these lakes,
with few exceptions, as, for instance, |
the Great Salt Lake, to disappear. The |
Columbia, Colorado, Missouri, and sev- |
eral other western branches of the Mis- |
sissippi gradually carried the waters of |
these Ink es to the oceans, and *‘the great |
American desert” on both sides of the
Rocky Mountains remained to tell the
tale.
Thus the staked plains of Texas and
New Mexico, the “Bad Lands” of South
western Dakota, the deserts of Eastern
Oregon, Nevada, Arizona and South. |
eastern California, and some other |
“alkali flats” of our Western States are |
the legacy left by the cretace
SCA.
The famous canyons of the Colorado |
and some other Western rivers, the
markable mesas, or table lands of
American deserts, the numerous terraces
of plateau and the often remarkable fan
tastic formations resembling towers, |
castles, fortifications and t ke
with in some localities of these regions,
are also to some extent due to the great
cretaceous sea. This, with its suc
ing lakes, had, in course of time,
posited immensely deep layers of com.
paratively soft sands and clays, through
which water, from rivers and rains,
gradually made its way in various direc-
tions, cutting deep channels, occasionally
from 3,000 to more than 6,000 feet deep,
washing away vast areas of strats and
leaving only some curiously shaped ter.
raced plateau, pillows, cones or hills
standing
The gradual uplifting of the entire |
western half of North America continued
to go on during the tertiary age, which
succeeded the cretaceous period. Daur
ing this age the coast chain was elevated,
and through fissures of the Sierra and
Cascade ranges vast lava floods were
poured out over great portions of North
ern California, Oregon, Washington and
to a considerable distance into British
America, covering an area of 8X) miles
long and 100 wide, with lava which in
some locations ia from 2,000 to 3, 000
deep. These lava floods are considered
to have been the most extensive known,
The great elevation of the
portion of the continent since the creta.
ceous period, and the consequent grad
ugl diss ppearance of the great cretaceous
¢ea naturally brought about some im-
portant changes of climate. Still
remained considerably warmer than it is
at present. About the beginning of the |
tertiary age the climale of the present |
Northern Dakota, as is inferred from
the palms, figs and other plants
then growing there, was similar to
that of Southern Louisiana Flori-
da at present. And about the
middle of this age magnoliss and other
plants now flourishing only in Southern |
swamps and forests still prospered in
Greenland. And towards t of
this age elephants, rthinoceroses and other |
animals which at present live only in far
more southern countries still swarmed
about the Upper Missouri. Yet with the
tertiary age began the modern geological
history of our globe. During the same
the geographical outlines of our contin-
ent were substantially completed, i

the plants and animals gradually put on
a modern appearance. Now for the first
time perfectly flowering plants flourished.
Now oaks, maples, palms and other trees
of modern type became abundant, Now |
butterflies, bees and other flower loving
insects began to swarm, and true or per.
fect mammals, both herbivores and car
nivores (plant snd flesh eating), as rhi- |
noceroses, camels, elaphants, deer, dogs,
cats, horses and monkeys, besides birds
of modern type, as owls, eagles, wood.
peckers, ete, made mesdows and forests
ring with life. |
The wide geographical distribution of
both plants and animals of the same
general kinds during this age indicate
that Asia, Africa, Europe and America
were then coonected with one another |
by land. Africa was connected with!
Europe by an isthmus over the present |
Straits of Gibraltar, and by another |
isthmus with Italy, as the numerous!
fossil remains of elephants, hippopot- |
ami and other animals now living only
in Africa, found in the caves of Malta,
Sicily and Spain, indicate. Asia was
connected with Africa by the isthmus of
Suez; America was connected with Asia
by an isthmus over the present Behring
Strait, snd perhaps with Europe over
Greenland, Iceland, the Faroe and the
British Islands.
Long before the tertiary age began
Australia had become permanently separ.
ated by water from the other continents,
as the absence of all higher mammalian
forms indicate. The mammals of Aus-
tralia all belong to the lowest mammalian
trpon, the marsupials and monotremata,
th the exception of a few kinds of
mice, which may perliaps have originally
come over from Asia on floating trees or
wood. The more highly developed mam-
mals of Europe, Asia, Africa and Amer.
ica have almost entirely exterminated the
lower marsupials wherever they came in
contact with them, sad would undoubt.

high plateau of Labrador and the Lau-

of glacier-ice was formed, which spread
in all directions and begaa to
currying along with it a vast amount
