Vertebra of a Bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus) in Late Wisconsinan deglacial marine sediments, Trout River, Newfoundland, and local late-glacial sea-level change

This note reports the geological contexts and radiocarbon and calibrated ages of whalebone and bivalve recovered from emerged deglacial marine sediments at Trout River, Newfoundland (49°28.6’ N, 58°07’ W). The rate of sea-level fall is calculated for the first deglacial millennium, and discrepancies...
