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.”
