Walrus

ON-LINE SCORING STEP ONE - Entering Your Measurements

FIGURE A

FIGURE B

All measurements must be made with a 1/4-inch wide flexible steel tape to the nearest one-eighth of an inch. Enter fractional figures in eighths, without reduction. Tusks SHOULD be removed from mounted specimens for measuring.

For example, if a point measures 7 and 2/8 inches, you would enter 7 2/8 in the space provided.

KIND OF WALRUS: Atlantic Pacific
A: GREATEST SPREAD (If Possible)
The greatest spread is measured between perpendiculars at a right angle to the center line of the skull. See Figure A.
Greatest Spread:
B: TIP TO TIP SPREAD (If Possible)
The tip to tip spread is measured between the tips of the tusks.
Tip to Tip Spread:
C: ENTIRE LENGTH OF LOOSE TUSK
The entire length of the loose tusk is measured over the outer curve from a point in line with the greatest projecting edge of the base to a point in line with the tip.
Length of Right Tusk:	Length of Left Tusk:
D-1. CIRCUMFERENCE OF BASE
The circumference of the base is measured at a right angle to the axis of the tusk. DO NOT follow the irregular edge of the tusk; the line of measurement must be entirely on tusk material. See Figure B.
Base of Right Tusk:	Base of Left Tusk:
D-2-4. HORN CIRCUMFERENCES
Divide Measurement C of the longer tusk by four. Starting at the base, mark both tusks at these quarters (even though the other tusk is shorter) and measure the circumferences at these marks.
RIGHT TUSK	LEFT TUSK
D-2. First Quarter Circumference	D-2. First Quarter Circumference
D-3. Second Quarter Circumference	D-3. Second Quarter Circumference
D-4. Third Quarter Circumference	D-4. Third Quarter Circumference
