Abstract

The skull of an adult male Antarctic fur seal (Arctocephalus gazella) collected at Heard Island, Southern Ocean, October 1992, had chronic changes attributable to a fracture of the left lower canine, luxation of the mental symphysis, osteomyelitis of the left and right mandibles, and periostitis of the left maxilla.
