content: 1989 analysis of fur by Bonnie Farmer, NMNH Dept. of Vertebrate Zoology: Phoca vitulina / Harbor (Common) Seal: Forms fringes of short, blackish and gold hairs encircling outer perimeter and/or along edges of leather. Rangifer tarandus / Caribou/Reindeer: Used to create white stitching and trim on leather and around edges. Unknowns/Tentative Identifications: Short strands of pale blond hair sewn into seams over the Phoca appear to belong to the genus Ursus and closely resemble both U. arctos (Grizzly/Alaskan Brown Bear) and U. maritimus (American Black Bear).
