- Comments
- QfJl-VP: A periotic bone was collected from one side of a bowhead skull 99% buried upside down in medium beach gravel. This is the highest bowhead sample found in the Lovell Point area. The marine limit just north of the site is at 91 metres altitude at the distal edge of a glaciofluvial fan.
