...Elso S. Barghoorn, who has applied modern techniques of experimental science to the study of fossil plants, has been appointed professor of Botany, Barghoorn was formerly an associate professor of Botany...
Professors Elso S. Barghoorn of Harvard and Stanley A. Tyler of the University of Wisconsin announced last week that they had found the oldest fossils so far. In a layer of flint beneath an iron ore deposit in Ontario, they identified two kinds of algae, two of fungi and an organism that they believe may be a calcareous (containing calcium) flagellate. None of them are striking in appearance; they are much like primitive organisms that are still living...
...University botanists concerned with the research include Paul C. Mangelsdorf, professor of Botany; Elso S. Barghoorn, associate professor of Botany; Walton C. Galiuat, a research follow; and Miss Margaret Wolfe of Radcliffe...
...discovery of the plants, mostly blue-green algae and simple forms of fungi, is the result of two years of teamwork in field excavations and laboratory research between Elso S. Barghoorn, associate professor of Botany, and Stanley A. Tyler, professor of Geology at the University of Wisconsin...
...Science, Biologist Elso S. Barghoorn of Harvard tells about recent archaeological studies that have pretty well settled the question. Ancient Indian fish weirs found under Boston's Boylston Street have been excavated and their age determined by carbon 14 dating. One weir proved to be about 4,500 years old. Its position below sea level indicates that the tidal flat on which it was built has sunk about 20 ft. This works out to an average submergence of roughly six inches a century since Massachusetts was occupied by the fish-catching Indians...
