Comments
PaHd-VP: Periotic bones and fractured otic capsules were collected in situ from both sides of a bowhead skull fragment 80% buried upside down in beach gravel. The skull fragment is 148 cm wide with an estimated 60 cm missing due to weathering of the temporal processes (estimated 208 cm wide).
