REMARKABLE GEOLOGICAL DISCOVERY.
According to a Florida paper a remarkable geological discovery has been made there. The Galena Advocate says: “As P. M. Oliver, in company with a lot of friends, was chasing a fox through his field near Payne’s prairie Saturday night last his horse ran into a sink and in getting the animal out Sunday morning attention was attracted to the numerous curious petrological formations on the sides of the sink. Further examination Monday disclosed immense beds of the petrified bones of the now extinct dinotherium giganteum, icthyosaurus, glyptodon, cuvieri, plesiosaurus, and peterodactyl. This is probably the richest find in the world and was altogether accidental.”
