All means of securing evidence concerning conditions existing in the solid rock ahead of actual exploration by operations are of course of vital interest to men in this field and geologists and others interested in the development of natural resources have steadily been working on the improvement of methods for estimating the nature of bodies concealed in the crust...

The slab was found in a prairie, which was formerly the bed of this river. The slab is to be placed in a glass case...
