'Stunning' 100-million-year-old fossil found in rock

On 17 August, the Hiramoni Salvage team recovered a steam-powered relic from beneath the silt and murky waters of the Karnaphuli River in Chattogram. The vessel, which is almost 150 years old, was part of the Revenue Survey Department attached to Oudh Province, now in modern-day Uttar Pradesh, India. Among the several relics that were found inside the vessel, the photos are of the nameplate, top left, with English, Urdu and Hindi inscriptions of the British Revenue Survey Department, that eventually revealed the identity of the vessel, the five silver coins, top right, from the 1862 Victorian era, and the salvaged vessel, bottom, from during the reign of Queen Victoria between 1856 and 1901.
