<p>[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 9747453, member: 76316"]Y'all note that I only said ivory...an' that based as much on the crack as any other single thing. There's no 'cracked ice' to indicate marine mammal ivory...an' the ends are fully carved, so won't yield the schreger lines necessary for elephant source. I'll snap a few more pics, 'tho...the sun is out today an' they'll be taken in good natural light. I'm now leaning toward antler, after seeing Sabre's beautiful offerings![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
