Comments
BdGu-VP, Orillia grizzly bear: The dated long bone was found in association with a well preserved grizzly bear skull. Apparently both were found in a load of gravel that had been removed about 30 feet (9.1 m) below the local grade of the gravel pit, and the bones were not observed in situ. Coordinates and the Borden block have been inferred by R.E. Morlan.
