X Ray Machine Donated To Chicago Museum
The Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago received an X-ray machine donated by a West German firm after Dr W Stuermer of Siemens Reiniger Works learned of the museum needs. Dr Rainer Zangerl, chief curator of geology, noted the old X-ray gear was worn out. Zangerl has 30 years of paleontological X-ray work, including discoveries from shale in Indiana that revealed a shark fossil about 285 million years old.
