Index of Subjects My father mentioned a walrus being shot off Yarmouth in the '20's. -----Original Message----- From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] On Behalf Of Christopher Majka Sent: October-03-11 2:55 PM To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Subject: Re: [NatureNS] older flora and fauna species for HRM Very abundant once on Sable Island; I'm not aware of any historical records from Halifax Harbour, although if there are any Andrew Hebda would probably be ware of them. There are some interesting fossil remains in various places such as the famous 1871 walrus skeleton found near Moncton (dated 9700 +/-130 B.P.). Are there any from the region of Halifax? I don't know. Cheers! Chris On 3-Oct-11, at 2:36 PM, Laurie Murison wrote: > and Walrus?
