In the Montignac group, stiffness of profile has relaxed and action abounds - the beasts run, leap, browse, swim, lie down, chew their cuds. The head of an ancient long-horned cow (see cut) displays an excellent eye and nostril, subtle shading and dappling. To the Paleolithic artist, the more realistic...

Last week he announced that he had one of the finest fossil ground sloths discovered in the U. S. since 1796. In that year the huge, extinct beast was first studied and named Megalonyx by a great U. S. paleontologist...
