Comments
QjHr-VP: Two walrus tusks and a molar were removed from a weathered skull 95% buried on its side in medium beach gravel. The left tusk had been exposed and is cracked and exfoliating. The buried right tusk is quite sound and is a little longer (37.2 cm long - maximum straight line length - and 3.9 cm wide at the gum line).
