He rigged up apparatus on his back porch. With an old sewing ma- chine, a pump and a tank, he can simulate the ripple marks which he finds in ancient rocks, and thus obtain a clue to the con- ditions that caused them. “Old shorelines,” , says Dr. Evans, “can be located by ripple marks This is important because oil fields are believed to be Ben- erally located seaward from old shorelines at. distances up to 100 miles.” i oe The study,also furnishes a clue, he says,. to the character and origin of sedimentary. rocks, the home of oil. 4 ‘The' American Philosophical so Investigation of the picture | eur.
