Comments
PgLd-VP: A whole or nearly whole skeleton is present at this site. The whale skeleton is being exhumed by deflation from deltaic sand and gravel. A minor gravel terrace, probably marking the top of the eroded delta, occurs 4 metres above the bone site. An otic capsule (bulla), a large rib fragment, and a complete rib were collected.
