<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 11045195, member: 36"]It's old for sure, and I agree that the spoon end is a good repair to a family treasure. It looks like a beaver tail. Mammoth wouldn't surprise me a bit, given where this came from. It had to be a big enough piece to make a spoon, and fossil ivory is harder than non-fossil and would hold up better. I also don't think whale teeth or walrus tusks are big enough. (top of brain on not much sleep recall, so iffy info.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
