RE: Elk teeth are not made up of ivory, are they?
HNI where do you get these questions from? Elk have teeth called " ivories" , which bear no relation to " ivory" tusks.

RE: Elk teeth are not made up of ivory, are they?
Yes they have ivory.
Just the two eye teeth at the very front of the top jaw. |

Elk have 32 teeth including the " ivories" so prized by hunters. These are not real ivory, instead incisiform canine teeth or better known by the terms of " whistlers" " buglers" and elk teeth. These two teeth are located in the forward portion of the upper jaw, one on each side. |

How are the ivorys differnt from the other teeth? size only? all are the exact same componds& matterials etc? Like its weird some horns are hair eh?
calicum& bone matter& antlers & teeth&... how long for a antalopes horn to turn to minerals & stone... laying on the ground in the badlands of nowhere? Wonder if they had ( prob a lill less)3 ton elk with tusks[:o], in the mastadom? woolly mammoth periods? I would need a calibur upgrade for them i think . |

RE: Elk teeth are not made up of ivory, are they?
Yeah, they' re ivory. The two eye teeth are remnants from their ancestors, big a$$ dinasour wapiti. They are where tusks are on an elephant. It is very light, and can be polished up to make fine jewlery. Don' t feel like teeth at all. Greenhorns.

:DI know they polish up real nice if you carry them around in the pocket of your jeans for a long time!
