nc1978 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Hello, I found this diving off of Venice Beach, FL in about 25 feet of water. It is about 88mm x 38 mm. To me it looks like a piece of a tusk. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AnThOnY- Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Its most certainly tusk. Not sure I could say definitively that its mammoth, but that longitudinal ridge pattern looks very familiar to my mammoth tusk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcbshark Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I would say ivory as well, looks pretty small for mammoth to me. Possibly walrus which is much more rare @Harry Pristis Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I think it is elephantoid ivory. This should be dried and consolidated without delay before it further delaminates. 2 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
