- Comments
- QjHq-VP: A walrus tusk and a skull fragment with a tusk fragment were partly buried in beach gravel. There are at least two bowheads in this beach (2 cervical vertebrae), but the skulls are very fragmented and preserve no earbones. The walrus tusk is complete, 33 cm long and 2.5 x 3.7 cm at the root end. A subsample of 211 g was submitted for dating.
