- Comments
- ObJf-VP: Fragments of two walrus tusks were on the surface of a gravel raised beach, about 20 m apart. A fragment of walrus maxilla was found at the same elevation about 300 m to the west. Fragments of both tusks are well preserved but have been extensively modified by chewing by caribou or muskoxen (J. Savelle, p.c. to A.S. Dyke, 1997).
