Comments
RdJn-VP: A periotic bone was collected from one side of a large fragment of a bowhead skull 10% buried upside down in medium beach gravel. The half-width of the weathered skull is 85 cm with an estimated 20 cm missing from the process (original width about 210 cm). A driftwood log (94-DCA-145) occurs at a closely similar elevation 5.8 km east of this sample.
