Janetzillah Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Hi there, I work in an antiques store and we get in a huge variety of unusual items and sometimes, something comes in that we need some help with. I have attached pictures of what is apparently a baby woolly mammoth's tooth. I have never personally seen one before so I would never be able to tell a real one from a replica. I am a new member and hope that someone would be able to provide some information. Many thanks, Janet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacha Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 That's a beauty Janet! By the way, I love Victoria. My wife and I had a chance to visit about 25 years ago on a rockies trip. You live in a beautiful place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElToro Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Cool tooth! I hope you make some profit on it! I'd keep it for myself "That belongs in a museum!" - Indiana Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
