Comments
PeHb-VP: Otic capsule fragments and periotic bones were collected in situ from both sides of a bowhead skull 99% buried upright in beach gravel capped by thin peat. The skull is too fragmented to measure, but the skull pieces and the size of the periotics indicate that the animal was a juvenile.
