How these luckly finds took place, related by Charles H. Stern berg, noted -hunter of fossil mon- sters, who, in sixty-years of search- ing, has uncovered more than three hundred specimens of prehistoric life. ' ''Once I was walking along the rim of a cliff in the Bad J^ands of Wjro niiug," he writes in the December issue of Popular Science Monthly, "when I heard, seemingly at my feet, the deadly warning of a rattlesnake. | I leaped to one side, slipped, fell, slid over the edge of the crag and came to a sudden stop sitting down on what apparsptly was a brown boulder ten i feet from the top. The 'boulder' was the shoulder bone of the largest dino- saur ever unearthed. It was nearly efgthly feet long, sixteen feet high at the shoulders, and probably weighed fifty tons or more. Had it not been for the snake on the edgfl of the cliff, that monster reptile, probably nre million years old, would have remain- ed undiscovered. "Such twists of fate make fossil hunting one of the most fascinating games in the world. Searching for prehistoric shells and other marine life on the one-time shore of a great ocean in Kansas, I dropped the geo- logist's pick I was carrying and the sharp point accidentally struck a slab of sandstone, flaking off a chip a foot long and half as wide. Beneath, dark brown against the pale yellow sand- stone, was the tootu-ll'ied snout of a huge llsh.
