DISCOVERS BONES j
OF A PREHISTORIC
CRITTER UP LINE
Recently D. M. Lynch was delving,
around out in his marl deposit above
the inlet near Kagle river and at aj
depth of lb feet uncovered the re
mains of some “critter'’ of antiquity’.
The bones indicate that the animal
was a small one, perhaps no larger
than a musk rat. The portion of
skeleton uncovered has been proserv ,
ed. It is not sufficient, up to date,
to tell the unscientific examiners the
nature of the animal. A peculiir
thing about the specimen is tnat it
seems to have been preserved in a
different manner to that of the usual
ly found fossils. It has not been pet- i
rified, and yet the skeleton does not
appear to be bone.
