- Comments
- HfTo-VP: In a study of Neoglacial history in the northern Coast Range, Ryder (1987: 1300) notes, "Recent recession of a permanent snow patch ... has uncovered many ancient caribou antlers. These are now in various stages of decay, although recently melted-out specimens are well preserved." S-2279 dates a well preserved antler of a bull caribou.
