    Perhaps walrus tusk. That grayish band on the right side of the ivory looks like it might be the characteristic inner layer of walrus tusk.

    The gourd necklace is probably Maasai, or at least east African.

    looks like the bear claw cannot be sold on ebay. Don't want to chance it because I just had a listing removal and warning for a partial African ivory and wood item..and I didn't even say ivory in the listing. In this lot there are about 15 pieces of ivory, animal claws and tusks. I knew they would be a problem... but I liked the other things in the 40 piece lot. I guess those items will go into a bin for now.
