Artifact Condition: Artifact is chassis only plus two wheels with a third wheel laying on the seabed between the other two. It is possible that the third wheel was a spare mounted on the back of the vehicle. There are no wheels on the other end only chassis. There appears to be some rubber still on the wheels. The hubs are present.
Additional Information: Due to the poor condition of the vehicle the survey was a continuous fly over. The position and depth of the artifact are deduced from the video data. This artifact is just downslope slightly from the Motorcycle (VEH-10) and shares the same estimated position as it.
