This past Saturday I displayed some fish/shark fossils at the Go Fish Educational Center in Perry, Georgia. In addition to my display was one from the Geology Curator at the Museum of Arts and Sciences in Macon. He showed me a tusk that was given to him from a local whose father used it to carve ivory figurines and was curious as to whether it is mammoth or mastodon. I know that it can be determined by a cross view, but I wasn't sure that it could be from a cut end section. Vertebrate paleontology is not my forte, but I was hoping someone here on the forum could tell. There is

Hi all! I recently bought these two pieces of mammoth tusk that have been fished up from the North Sea during the 80ties. The current owner inherited them and didn't know if they had been desalinized. The larger one was badly preserved and coated with some sort lacquer with all kinds of ugly blobs. I did 3 passes of 400 grit water resistant sandpaper on both of them which removed all the old gunk from the larger one and smoothed both of the tusks out nicely. As you can see in the pictures they both have some cracks, the larger one gets up to abo

Cool find and article on this recent discovery off of the CA coast. It was found while searching for rare species of jellyfish found 10,000 feet down, near a seamount. Perhaps Pleistocene would have been more appropriate for the time period? https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/22/science/mammoth-tusk-ocean.html I believe the NYT allows some number of free articles before a subscription is required. Sorry if this is not the case, or if you've already used up your allotment.

Hello everyone, I need help to identify this fossil, it was found in morocco near essaouira in a meeting point between a river and the atlantic ocean, I was told that it's a mammoth tooth but I'm not sure, thank you in advance.

I may be embarrassing myself here, but I can only learn if I ask. :-) I found a piece in the sandy gravel in the Brazos River bed that looks similar to dugong rib examples I've seen on the forum. While trying to identify it, I found an article online from October of 2020 that indicates people have found dugong fossils in Texas, but it seems like it's incredibly rare. I would think it may be especially unusual to find any this far inland. (Around Waller County, TX). But I do know that so far I've found a lot of pleistocene fauna fossils here that

I tend to stay away from my usual hunting spot of the Peace River during the summer rain season and wind up getting anxious to get back to hunting fossils. The river is deep and moving too fast for my taste. I have been wanting to try some land hunting for awhile. I have watched as others have made some great finds in the Sarasota and Venice, FL areas. Recently I have been watching a major construction project nearby and have seen a tremendous amount of dirt being moved as a very deep retention pond is being dug out. Yesterday I decide to take a chance and look through some of the piles o

Mammoth or mastodon? Found at land site in Sarasota along with
Finding Florida posted a topic in Fossil ID
Found at a land site in Sarasota we have to go back tomorrow to excavate the rest there is so much more bone in the ground!! Could somebody please tell me what this is I'm leaning towards mammoth or Mastodon maybe a juvenile -
Ok, this piece is why I'm here. I would like to have it's identification verified and need to know if it could be a fake. It was given to me, not by the person who found it but by a mutual friend who didn't know to ask any questions about the piece when it was given to him. The original collector has since passed so there's no going back for Q&A. I do believe it was found somewhere in western Nebraska, southwest South Dakota, or eastern Wyoming as this area is where the original collector did most of his hunting. However, I do not know this for certain as it concerns this piece specificall

Hello everyone! I recently dug this out of a stash that's been in my family for a while. It appears to be a mammoth tusk section (with one end polished). Also, the outer part appears to have "bark " like characteristics and the polished side looks to have a different color that by other pieces I own. It appears to have schreger lines , but looks a lot different from other's I've seen in the past (color, texture, hole in middle ). This was in a box with several other items, including petrified wood. I am obviously not familiar with tusks and just wanted to see what the forum members

Any experiences with fossils from the North Sea?
TeethCollector posted a topic in Questions & Answers
When I was searching through the forum, I read some threads telling that fossils from Sea must be desalinated and coated very well, otherwise, it will break down in several months or so. I want to see your experiences with fossils from northern sea. Did your north sea fossils break-down? Or it is just okay? -

My wife and I recently traveled to Fairbanks, Alaska for a mini vacation and toured the Museum of the North on the University of Alaska, Fairbanks campus. It brought back some old memories as I completed my undergraduate training there in 1986. Here are a few pictures from the displays that I found interesting. The hadrosaurs display is fairly new and in the entryway Mammoth display Dinosaur interpretive displaysRay Troll art. Enjoy! AK Hiker

Hi, Can anybody offer me a suggestion on how to get a display stand built for my Woolly Mammoth Tusk? I used to live in Alaska. Before I left, I purchased a Tusk as a memento. Dimensions are roughly 38.5 lbs and 7.5' - 8'. It's pretty solid/stable, not polished, and I believe coated in Elmers Glue. I'm looking to get a stand made to display it. Specifically, one that supports it and doesn't apply a stress that could damage the Tusk over time. Does anybody have a recommendation on who I can contact to get a stand?

This would be my first Mammoth Molar I'm preparing again in 10 years. My first one was a 10lb Mammoth molar. This one is quite small of course since it's from a calf. It has been laying in right water for 1,5 months and at the moment I'm glueing the last 4 pieces since it's precision work with this small piece. I'm really glad I picked up on this one (Found in Maasvlakte, Netherlands). I found it in pretty poor condition you guys can see in the pictures. But I have never seen this molar, so I'm amazed anyways! I will show you guys the full picture when it is all done!

Is a mammoth tusk ivory or has it been mineralized? Thanks. Tom
