Petrified bones of a giant Sauropod dinosaur being recovered in western Colorado jy Brigham Young University paleontologist Dr. James A. Jensen will be featured on nationwide television in West Germany this fall. Dr. Peter G. Westphal, special correspondent for science and technology for West German nationwide TV 2 from Mainz, Germany, interviewed Dr. Jensen on location at the new bone hole in Calico Draw overlooking Deer Lodge Park on the Yampa River about 90 miles east of Vernal, Utah. While on BYU emmpus, Dr.' Westphal also interviewed professors who developed the oval bicycle sprocket. An estimated 24 million viewers in the German-speaking area of Europe (West Germany, West Berlin, Austira and Switzerland) will see how dinosaur bones look as they are found in their current state and how they are prepared for transporting to the campus laboratory for study" and preparation for display. "Nearly three-fourths of the Sauropod skeleton has been recovered and it appears to be of the genus 'Diplodocus,'" Dr. Jensen said. "This was a long-necked, long-necked, long-tailed herbivore that lived approximately 150 million years ago and was found in the Morrison times of the Jurassic Period." In additoon, Dr. Jensen reported that he found in the same bone hole several unknown small dinosaurs, some of which were no larger than a turkey. While digging down to the bones during the past month, Dr. Jensen and his crew found the first coal bed reported from the Morrison formation. "This coal bed was about an inch thick and about three feet above the dinosaur bones. The coal contains con-tains remains of plants and other organic material that can be studied under the micorscope. This will be the first look at some otherwise unknown material, the paleontologist added. At the bone hole, Dr. Westphal asked Dr. Jensen questions in the German language. The paleontologists' answers were in English and will be dubbed in for European viewers. Cinema tographer for the TV special was Baird Bryant of Los Angeles; William R. Cooper of Hollywood handled the sound.; At that time Dr. Jensen , MEET THE -:-.-.v v. & i i. - V 14 lilPW 1 I" L. 1 TV n ill-..

"One of the major points of interest at the laboratory was Dr. Jensen's collection of dinosaur eggs and how he has studied those and compared them to eggs of today's animals he calls dinosaurs or feathered reptiles-the ostrich, emu, and cossowary," Dr. Westphal ob- served. "This will intrigue our. European audience and create possible future interviews here ' on the subject" "It was through some rather strange circumstances that I came to BYU, Dr. Westphal said. "In a Hamburg hotel about a year ago, I accidentally place a Book of Mormon in my suitcase. suit-case. When I arrived home, I called the landlady to ask about the book. She said she wasn't Mormon but referred me to Orem Councilman Harley M.

Mr. Gillman said he believes missionaries who said I could keep the book." "The missionaries met me in . my office and learned of my interest in science. The former BYU students put me in touch with BYU's Public Communications Com-munications office," he added. Harley M. Gillman Utah County is "second to none as an area in which to live and likewise in the quality of people who live here." He has been employed for 29 years at Geneva Steel.
