Skeleton of Extinct North American Sea Mink (Mustela macrodon) Authors: Mead J.I.1, 2; Spiess A.E.3; Sobolik K.D.4 Source: Quaternary Research, Volume 53, Number 2, March 2000 , pp. 247-262(16) Publisher: Academic Press Abstract: Mustela macrodon (extinct sea mink) is known only from prehistoric and historic Native American shell middens dating less than 5100 years old along coastal islands of the Gulf of Maine, northeastern North America. The species is distinct from all known extant subspecies of M. vison (American mink) but still belongs to the North American subgenus Vison. Metric comparisons between M. macrodon and five subspecies of M. vison, using skull, mandible, humerus, radius, femur, and tibia skeletal elements, show that M. macrodon is larger in overall size and robustness and is proportionately larger in the dental region. Many habitat-related parallels exist between coastal island mink of the Gulf of Maine and those of the Alexander Archipelago, southeastern Alaska, where the overall largest living subspecies of mink is found (M. v. nesolestes).

Baghira, that is fantastic image of the sea mink. One I didn't have seen before. I think the best available right now. And I see I haven't posted my seamink image yet, so here it is:  Created by Peter Maas for The Extinction Website.

PECIES Neovison macrodon Author: Prentis, 1903. Citation: Pro. U.S. Natl. Mus., 26: 887. Common Name: Sea mink Type Locality: "Brooklin, Handcock County, Maine." [Brooklin archaeological site on Black Isl, Maine]. Distribution: Formerly found along the coasts of Canada (New Brunswick) and USA (Maine). Status: IUCN – Extinct as Mustela macrodon. Comments: Last collected in 1894. Manville (1966) argued that recently extinct form macrodon is conspecific with vison, although Kurtén and Anderson (1980) and Mead et al. (2000) recognized it as a distinct species. www.bucknell.edu/msw3/browse.asp?s=y&id=14001483 |

Hi baghira, This is not a Sea Mink, as they became extinct in 1860 or 1894. At that time they could not make photographed like this one. It is probably another species of marten/mink/ferret. One that is nowadays kept in fur farms.  |

By the way, this is clearly an Sea Otter ( Enhydra lutris).: |
