These bones, taken to the Univer- sity of Washington by Frank Glenn son of Frank Glenn Jr., who owns and operates the property, were identified as being either from a Mammoth or a Mastodon. They may be the bones of a prehistoric elephant and if so might be those of a large extinct species which resembled the present Indian ele- phant. Presumably the elephant had a hairy coat and long curved tusks, or they may be bones of a Mastodon. On the Long Beach Peninsula, where Cranguyma is located about half way, there is no rock, merely sand and peat. But there have been a lot of sticks, pieces of old stumps and such material that has clogged sump pumps. "Since we do not have a cutter head on the end of our suction pump" says Mr. Glenn, "the suct- ion is usually stepped up; then the engine is slowed down and the end of the suction line is raised just be- low the surface of the water and a man goes out and pulls the sticks off the end of the ; "Now in doing this, they started to pick up some bones and brought ;hem to the shop at Cranguyma. We thought they were just old whale bones and didn't think much more about them. However, our foreman, Ed Bostrom, wanted to know more about it and he enlisted the aid of my son, Frank, to take them to the University of ; i The University seemed much fmterested and has tentatively iden- tified them. Mr. Glenn says that if ithe university can get a sample of the peat the bones were dug in, by ;he use of activated carbon, the ex-. SIX GEOLOGICAL SPECIMENS: Pleistocene-Quartemary Cetaccean (P
