BONES OF GIANT REPTIILE ARE UNCOVERED- Portions of Huge Teeth in a Section of Bone Key to Australian Monster. Brisbane Australia, April 28, (L. N. S) —Annourcement is made of the discov- ery of a new type of fessil animal which represents hy far the largest marine rep- tile ever found in Aus'ralia, The announcement is based on the re- port of Heber Longmen, director of the Queensiand Museum, who examined a fragment of bone from the fossil eizht inches long. five inchcs in dianeter and five inchres in height, ecntaining the re- mains of six enormous teeth. The bone was foord at Hughenden, over which the sea at some period flowed ard over which on subsiding it left many specimens of prehistoric marine reptiles embedded in mariae deposits. Authorities have agreed that at least several million years have elapsed since these deposits were made., The fossil represents part of the lower jaw, with the right and left sides upited on a strong, beak like tormation. Its nearvest relative is probably the - mense plcicracus prandis discovered in Dorstshire, Erglard, encrmous marine reptiles attaining tifty feet in length, with large skull short necks and paddle likelimbs.
