Comments
OgHq-VP: Both periotic bones and a fragmented otic capsule were collected from a bowhead cranium partly enclosed in peat and partly buried in beach gravel, extending below the frost table. The cranium is about 130 centimetres wide. The periotics were in situ in the cranium, but the otic capsule was excavated from gravel beside it.
