Abstract

Investigations on Coburg Island, Arctic Archipelago, have revealed that the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis Linné, formerly lived 350 km north of its present limit. The age of the mussels on Coburg Island is >38,000 radiocarbon years (GSC-1425), and the deposit probably relates to the warm interval, with accompanying higher sea-level, which corresponds to the Sangamon Interglacial of continental North America.
