netosols Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Hi! I found this ivory piece I would like some help... Its has a rounded tip so I figure it might be a type of tusk tip? I know ivory grows on ring like formations but this piece is almost flat like more of a oval. And its so polish on the outer layer. I found it in a beach near Tybee Island in the Savannah River. Any help is apprecieated!!! Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 They also seem to indicate that it is a slab from one side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
