- Comments
- QkLh-VP: Vertebrate remains were collected from various localities to establish length of survival and processes of decay of bone and soft tissue on land surfaces underlain by deep permafrost and under prolonged seasonal snow cover. The series also compares dates of terrestrial and marine mammals. BM-1766, -1767 from the same muskox skull provide measurements of the rates of differential weathering of bone and horn exposed on the surface of ground.
