Authorities are investigating after a piece of a human skull was found on a local beach over the weekend.
On Sunday, January 3, Dartmouth Police responded to Little Beach on Horseneck Road, after a passerby discovered what appeared to be a sizeable fragment of an aged human skull in the sand, according to police.
As of this time, it is suspected that the fragment washed ashore, and was not placed there.
The fragment was subsequently collected by Dartmouth Police, and is being transferred to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for further analysis.
