Recent mollusc distribution patterns and palaeobathymetry, southeastern Beaufort Sea
Molluscs were obtained from 515 of the 657 grab samples collected 1970–1972 inclusive from southeastern Beaufort Sea, from 29 of the 46 cores taken in the area, and from raised marine deposits at Kay Point and on Herschel Island, Yukon Territory. One hundred and one species have been identified. Wat...
