She had exhibited works with the club from 1942 to 1954. A Winnipeg Art dealer has t heard of Mary Lorimer and can t offer judgement on the Worth of her work. He says it s hard to. Put a Price on Art except for Ballpark Agures assigned to works by Well known artists. You have to decide what you like. Another Art dealer in town also has not heard of the artist. And he says what she did 20 years ago May not be Worth the same As what she s doing now the period of the piece often plays a part in the Price. A spokesman with the University of Manitoba s school of Art says it s unlikely that Mary Lorimer s work is increasing in value.

Q. Can you Tell me How objects Are fossilized a. Many fossils Are preserved by pet reification. There Are three types of pet reification. In replace ment water dissolves away the original Plant or animal and is replaced by minerals virtually turn ing the object to solid Rock Over a period of Many years. Petrified forests Are formed by replacement. In per mineralization minerals fill air spaces in Bone or shells. The shape does not change and the remaining Shell has Ben strengthened by the new minerals. In carbonization leaves or soft part of animals turn to Carbon. A thin film of Carbon remains to the end leaving a record of the shape of the object. Holds Are useful in reconstructing fossils. An animal or Plant trapped in mud or Clay will Over the years dissolve away leaving a Mold which can be filled with Wax in an artificial cast or by nature in a natural cast. Great detail is apparent in some of these casts. Great detail can also be preserved if an insect is trapped in resin or sap. The animal dries leaving a film of Carbon lining the Mold. Prints Are really thin holds. Leaves or footprints left in soft mud become fossilized As the mud hardens to Stone. Whole objects Are rarely preserved and flesh and other soft parts of animals almost always decay too quickly for posterity. However whole animals have been found in ice and tar. A wooly Rhinoceros had parts of its flesh and skin attached to its Skeleton in one tar Fossil. An animal preserved in ice May also still have its flesh intact when it freezes.
