Opal Fossil OF . Shark.

Since they were first discovered the
famous opal fields at White Clrs. N.
8. W., have yielded many curious fos-
sis, particularly those of prehistoric
marine life. But the latest discovery
Is most extraordinary one. and will
prove OF the deepest interest to the
scientific world.
1t Is that of a fossilized. or rather
opalized. member OF the shark family,
which was found on block No 6. at
depth Of thirty-fiye feet from the sur
face. The Sydney press says that the
speciment measures 3 feet 9 inches
from the snout to the tip of the tail.
The body Is In seven sections, the cir
conference OF the largest OF which
1.-THE head and shoulder portion) Is
eighteen inches; each section Is slx
inches In length.
The deeply indented eye-sockets
show plainly, "and thin veins of pur.
pie opal encircle the fish from tip to
tip" At the mouth these veins make
an oblong and clearly defined course,
though the continuity is occasionally
broken. No particulars as to weight
are given, but as the fossil has been
sent to London these ond other mat
ters Of interest will soon be deter
mined. 1t was purchased from the
