Hi Andy,

Someone will doubtless correct me, but I'm not aware of any records  
from Nova Scotia, and certainly not from the Bay of Fundy. There was a  
skull excavated Ste Anne des Monts in the Gaspe Peninsula in 1949, but  
I'm not aware of any records further south than this. A record from  
the Bay of Fundy would be an extraordinary find. Have you mounted any  
of the photographs anywhere to the web?

Cheers,

Chris
