Fossilised pieces of the animal's jaw bone were found in opal fields in northern New South Wales .
They were found about 25 years ago by palaeontologists Elizabeth Smith and her daughter Clytie .
They donated the specimens to the Australian Museum , where they sat forgotten in a drawer until about two years ago .
Opalios splendens has been nicknamed for its resemblance to the platypus and echidna - which are only egg-laying mammals in the world today .
