Using Dr. Ralph W. Chaney’s study of fossil tracks and imprints from Manchuria and related regions, it reconstructs a redwood-dominated forest composition around two million years ago, with accompanying alder, oak, maple, and ferns.

Here,associated with thegreat Manchurian coal deposits,some of which are already beingmined,he found the fossil tracks ofthe march of the redwood forest.  \nThe record was plain and easy toread.It was,indeed,in the formof a great stone book,with layers  \n# A PAGE FROM THE ANABASIS OF THE REDWOODS,more ancient than theAge of Ice.The darker patches are fragments of fossil alder leaves\n\ninal mass.of vegetation that borethat kind of leaf.Therefore we hadhere in Manchuria,two million yearsago,a forest consisting predomi-nantly of redwood trees,withmaples and alders among their hugetrunks,and oaks fringing the for-est.The ground,at least along thestream courses and perhaps else-where also,was carpeted with ferns.If you go into the forest in thefamous\"redwood belt\"of the coastof northern California you will findexactly such a picture.And youwill find it nowhere else on earth!  \nof shale for the pages,imprintedwith the fossils themselves as thewords.A veritable picture-writing,and a thousand tirnes clearer,atthat,than the man-made hierogly-phics of Egypt or early China.  \n“Here were the redwoods!”Thatwas the record written largest onpage after page,through stone vol-umes representing hundreds of mil-lenia.\"Here also were alder,oak,maple,ferns,\"the record continued.But these latter species were notwritten in so often.There werefewer of their fossil leaves andstems and fruits pressed out be-twen the pages of shale.The in-ference was easy enough.The morethere were of a given kind of fossil,the greater must have been the orig-  \nThere are other writings on themultiplex pages of the ancient stonebooks which Dr.Chaney has read—corollary notes to his chapter on  \n(Just turn the page)  \n\n| Shapley,Harlow…______-__       107  \u003Cbr>INDEX TO THIS ISSUE  \u003Cbr>Magic_Inspired Art__________111  \u003Cbr>Davenport,C.B  --------__109  \u003Cbr>109  \u003Cbr>-----____101  \u003Cbr>Male Family_…  \u003Cbr>Shub-ad,Queen----  \u003Cbr>DeVries,Hugo __---------      105  \u003Cbr>Alexanderson,E.F.W    107  \u003Cbr>Manchuria,Fossil Redwoods in 97  \u003Cbr>Steward,Julian H  …    --11  \u003Cbr>Dorner,Bela-------   -.103  \u003Cbr>_____111  \u003Cbr>Merz,Albert R.  \u003Cbr>Stoll,Arthur..  \u003Cbr>-   11  \u003Cbr>American .Library Association.111  \u003Cbr>Eggleton,P.   --__  __103  \u003Cbr>Sun's Distance,To Measure..107  \u003Cbr>Metropolitan Life Ins.Co_   107  \u003Cbr>Art,Magic Inspired…----_111  \u003Cbr>Electric Power Loaned____…109  \u003Cbr>Mexican Earthquake Located..109  \u003Cbr>Eros,Prepare for Visit   ----107  \u003Cbr>\"Blackboard,\"Ground Glass  109  \u003Cbr>…109  \u003Cbr>Tortoise Retorts__-  ---__101  ","cbCainxyCEYM5gUP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainxyCEYM5gUP","pdf",1729977,16,"English","# The March of the Redwoods\n## Forests as moving armies\n## Fossil “stone book” in shale\n## Redwood forests in Manchuria","[{\"question\":\"What evidence is used to support the ancient migration of redwood forests?\",\"answer\":\"Fossils are described as imprinted “pages” in shale, preserving leaf and plant fragments that reveal the forest composition.\"},{\"question\":\"Where did Dr. Ralph W.
