PALTRAORDINAIty FOSSILS.--A number of small
vessels have for some time been employed at Harwich port in
dredging for cement stones, which are found there in abund-
ance. In the course of this submarine investigation, some
very curious specimens of petrifactions have been obtained.
Within a few days a very beautiful fossil turtle embedded in
a solid block of cement stone has been discovered. One .of
the superintendents of the dredging vessels (Wakefield)
states that a short time since, a large stone weigh ing about
five cwt. was sent to London whole, and that he has since
received a letter, informing him that when it was broken it
was found to contain nearly the whole of a human skeleton ;
and this almost incredible circumstance has been further cor-
roborated by a gentleman from London, who told him he had
seen it. He has written for further information, and if it really
be true, such a rare production must be of immense value.__
