This was found on a river gravel bar in southern Minnesota. There are glacial gravel deposits in the area. I believe it may be a piece of tusk bark (the outer bark or cementum) Thoughts?

Hello all, This was found in a collection from my friend who passed away last year. It appears pretty old, I thought maybe rhino, but it seems a little short and stubby for that. Any thoughts as to animal this came from. I have no idea where it was found/purchased.

My first time posting here. Just found this unusual piece after a big storm and extremely high tide in Cape Canaveral, FL. Has several holes, two larger ones connect. Smaller pin size holes on bottom are not very deep. Also has a small curled up end, similar to a tail. I thought it was ivory, but it is such an odd shape. Maybe a natural pearl?

I had a short trip down to a nearby creek yesterday, and though I was only there for about an hour and a half, it had to be one of my best (creek) trips this year! We retrieved our first complete meg from this creek along with two beautiful great whites.We got some very nice sand tiger teeth. We got a nice little horse tooth. And what gets me most excited is my first piece of ivory.Heres all of the days finds.

I was out in a nearby creek yesterday searching my newest honey hole when I pulled this up, at first I thought it was petrified wood, but then I thought I saw schreger lines. I'm not an expert so I'm getting it checked here. Thanks!

Found at peace river (FL). It’s ivory but not like the mammoth or mastodon ivory I’ve seen. My novice research says it’s WALRUS?! Looking for those who know to confirm/deny/educate “coo coo cachoo!” (Beatles pun for those who didn’t catch it). It also dried incredibly quickly when I put water on it - vid is for fun because it kinda blew my mind. Thanks!

Found in the Peace River, FL. Arcadia area. I wasn't too excited about it but a man who was fossiling nearby wanted to see what I had found when I was leaving the spot and he said it was mammoth ivory. I do not think it is and told him that I didn't think so but he insisted quite enthusiastically. I am still learning and am a beginner so I told him he may be right and moved on with my day. But now I cant stop thinking about it haha, if that man is in here, I swear if you were trying me! The texture is hard and sounds quite like ceramic when tapped or dropped. It kind of appears rusty and dusty but it's not dusty and doesnt crumble when touched. I tried to include photos next to a penny and well lit from every angle. Thank you!

Need help from Florida experts. Found this snorkeling near blind pass beach in Florida. Probably 4 ounces. Really nice cross hatch. What animal?
-
Hi Found in the peace river. I’m no expert but does this look like ivory? If so, what animal? It has a slight curvature to it. There may be cross hatching but hard to see. Thanks

Finally made it back to the Peace River ,Fl for my first hunt of the season. It was a good day overall. Along with numerous and varied small shark teeth I came up with these two finds that I am hoping for some input on for a positive ID. First up is a piece of ivory that I believe must be Gomphotherium due to the black banding. I considered it might be staining from the river but it looks to uniform and seems to be layered. Next is what I believe to be Artiodactyl in nature. Maybe camel or llama. My hesitation with this ID is the size. I believe it is a partial molar 2 7/8” tall x 1” thick x 3/4” wide. This seems quite large for either camel or llama. I looked at bison but didn’t think the bite surface was a match. Any insights or opinions would be appreciated, Thanks.

Hello, I managed to find a few different pieces of tusk and I need help with ID or maybe a link to any good resource for fossil ivory identification. These were all found in Bradenton, FL at one individual site. Not all were found together. I will lable them when I post the pictures. Thank you very much. The first set below I found all together. They are pretty straight and have what appears to be enamel on the outside. Maybe Gomp?

Is a mammoth tusk ivory or has it been mineralized? Thanks. Tom
-
Hi all what could this possibly be. Found along a river bed in Canada. I think might be ivory because of the lines seen on the black side. Quite heavy,. Note the fossils in the growth lines on the totally flat/ smooth side.

I'm trying to identify the polished fossil material in this Georgian English snuffbox, circa 1760 to 1820. Is it mammoth ivory? Walrus? Wood? Something else? The material is set in unhallmarked sterling silver. Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Adam

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.

Please help wit ID - tooth or tusk and if not elephant/mammoth, who did it belong to?

Hello to All. Any help and input on a correct ID will be awesome. Spotted on the high tide line amongst shell and other debris. The location has seen significant fluctuations in sea levels and has produced Pleistocene material, such as horse teeth, mammoth teeth, even Rhino and Hippo teeth but also Miocene fossils like Megalodon teeth, cetacean teeth and inner ear periotic bones as well as bulla, Great White and Mako shark teeth, just to name a few. All washed ashore by tidal movement. The specimen in question was photographed alongside a horse incisor and a mammoth tooth fragment. Its cross section seems to show cross hatching patterns of ivory but I fail to see how it can be part of elephant or mammoth tusk. It measures 5 cm in length and 1,1 cm at its widest point. Would love to hear from the TFF experts. Thanks a lot.- 5 replies

I was told by someone familiar with the location where this was found that this is mastodon ivory. They said that it turns this blue and cream color in this area. Just wondering what the experts think. Thanks

Hi all! I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to Attach two pieces of ivory? I tried gluing, but it didn’t work well. I stabilized it with a 50/50 clear elmers/water mixture, and it’s pretty solid now, but I don’t know what to do because I still can’t glue it.
