Activity for Which Permit Is Requested 

Take. The applicant plans collect 

primarily the skulls and humerus or 

femur, with soft tissue, from seal 

mummies of all species on an 

opportunistic basis. The specimens 

collected would be radiocarbon dated 

and sampled for organochlorines in 

residual lipids in the long bones. The 

remainder of the samples will be housed 

in the Southern Methodist Univeristy’s 

Shuler Museum of Paleontology. The 

samples will provide time context for 

ecological interpretation of stable 

isotopes and the history of pollution in 

this portion of Antarctica.
