ID please- Mastodon or Mammoth ivory?

Recommended Posts

I found, confirmed by you guys here, mastodon ivory and a molar cusp in south Texas in the the river. With cool Schregers lines.

 

I found another piece I believe is ivory but not schreger lines. It is fossilized but unfortunately it doesnt have many markings. VERY SMOOTH, sticks to tongue like my other ivory, grinds like ivory. No bone pores under microscope. Could it be a boar tusk? Or Mammoth /mastodon.

Looks to be Ivory! I am only known with Woolly mammoth tusks and molars. But It definitely could be one
