FOSSIL FOR MUSEUM
QUEENSLAND DISCOVERY BRISBANE. May 17 The Queensland Museum has received a fossil of the top of the jaw of a diprotodon (a genus of extinct kangaroos), which was found projecting from a bank of the Condamine River, 20 feet below the surface, after the recent Hoods. No part of Australia has produced more fossilised remains than the Dal by district. Early marsupials must have existed there in large numbers and grown to enormous size.
