NEANDERTHAL SKULL, HUNTING BOW, AND KNIFE FOUND IN DEEP AMERICAN WATERS. As summarized above, the specimens extracted from the MC cave include: (a.) a nearly complete skull (Fig. 1) from an adult male Neanderthal, about age 40 at time of death; (b.) a beautifully carved "Venus of Monterey" dagger (Fig. 4), eight inches (20.3 cm) long overall with a four inch (10.2 cm) flint blade and sandstone handle of same length, apparently depicting an obese woman with large breasts; (c.) and a fossilized (recurve style) hunting bow (Figs. 5-7), approximately 58 inches (147 cm) original unstrung length as measured along its straight, longitudinal axis.
