Mammoth tusk at Buckingham Palace

This was the window display at a shop in San Francisco called "Buckingham Palace." This is the only mammoth tusk I have seen. I didn't purchase it; it would not have fit in my overhead luggage on the flight home. Posted by Picasa

I can only imagine what the price tag was on that! It looks incredibly detailed.

Quite incredible. It's really a mammoth. I've seen elephant tusks carved but never a mammoth.
