TRUNK KEPT ON ICE

TRUNK KEPT ON ICE -- Amos-Hill Associates mill employee Lonnie Stroud moves a water-saturated, large oak tree dug up last summer in a gravel pit that could be 6,000 or more years old, into position on a conveyor belt to be sawed into lumber Thursday, at the plant in Edinburgh, Ind. The tree might have been entombed by a glacier during the last ice age, scientists say. \nResearchers at three universities are awaiting radiocarbon test results to pinpoint the age of the tree, which a southern Indiana dredge operator found under 40 feet of sand and gravel.
