My brother is an ivory expert, but he's not talking to me anymore, he still has TDS, crazy thing is, he is still angry about everything even though his guy won the election; weird.
But as I recall him showing me in the past there are fairly easy ways to tell the difference between elephant ivory and walrus ivory and maybe Mastodon ivory. I'll bet you can find something on YouTube about it. If I remember correctly I think walrus Ivory has concentric rings like tree rings, whereas elephant Ivory has kind of a cross-hatched pattern to it, but I'm not sure.

The link was bad, be careful. It said I was the 5 billionth searcher. Keith It did that to me once... I just backed out and tried it again. I'd love to have a chat with the scumbag who thought of pop-up ads... Just me, a 32 oz ball pein hammer, and his bare toes on a concrete floor... I'd mash them little piggy's out to the size of a silver dollar. Mike

Posco, your top one is fossil walrus! Not mastodon or mammoth. Been in the ivory business 40+ years! If that's the case the guy who I had make it lied to me.

Fossilized mastodon on top, raw walrus ivory in the middle, caribou on bottom. Caribou ivory? Antler. Just happened to be in the pic.
