- Comments
- QdHk-VP: A large otic capsule fragment and the periotic bones were collected from both sides of a fragmented bowhead skull 50% buried in medium beach gravel and capped by peat. The skull is too fractured to measure, but the size of the periotic bones indicates a small animal. Other bones of the same animal occur on another beach ridge 1 m higher.
