FOSSIL JAWBONE
INTERESTING FIND IN AUSTRALIA United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright BRISBANE, This Day. The Queensland Museum has received the fossil of the top jaw of a diprotodon, which was found projecting from the bank of the Condamlne river, 20 feet below the surface, following recent floods. No part of Australia has produced more fossilised remains than the Dalby district. Early marsupials must have existed there in large numbers, and grown to an enormous size.
