MarcoX Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I`m new to colllecting mammal fossils and thinking about buiyng this tusk. The seller said its a mastodon tusk and no the usual stegodon tusk, which seems pretty common. Couldn`t find much information about mastodons from indonesia. So I`m wondering if its real and also how "rare" is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellamyBlake Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 It strikes me as modern carved and painted bone, similar to the ones I've seen advertised as rhinoceros horns from that locality (also a misleading claim) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 This actually looks like tusk material, to me. Better pictures of the large end might help. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
