- Comments
- PeHu-VP: This sample consists of two unerupted female narwhal tusks encased in skull fragments on the surface of raised beach gravel. Most degraded bone was removed at the site. Tusks are fragile and exfoliating. There is some risk that this animal was dragged inland by a bear as the bones were not enclosed in beach material.
