Snake

Published in the Sangamo Journal, Springfield, Illinois on Monday, July 21, 1851

The workmen on the Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad, near Beaver, recently found a petrified snake imbedded in solid limestone rock, some 60 feet below the earth’s surface. It’s size was enormous-sixteen feet in length, and in the middle at least four inches in diameter. It is said to be almost as perfect in form and feature as when alive.
