This is a surface find of mine from a few years ago. Although it isn't an artifact I still display it along side some of my favorite finds that are. Thanks for looking.
I've got a pretty good stash of ivory and that sure looks like ivory to me. It does seem to be in too good of condition for a surface find though. Square one end and polish it and you should see the Schrager lines and you'll be able to tell if it's mammoth or elephant. Gary
You guys nailed it. It is what it is, and yes, a surface find. Definitely a small piece of fossilized mammoth tusk. The schreger lines were showing when I picked it up and I haven't as much as rinsed it off since I found it.
