Mammoth Tusk

...and how!

(This blog once gave out mammoth parts for Christmas.

Boy was I convinced the woollies were gonna be big that following summer.

This blog can err, but mammoths are a theme. Don't pass up on info without zipping it along regarding animals extinct or otherwise...)

Over at CoasttoCoast a listener sent in the following:

This mammoth tusk was found by my Yupik friend, Johnny (pictured). It washed out of the permafrost during a flood last year. I have bought and sold mammoth tusks in Alaska for over twenty years. At 14 feet long, this is the longest one I have ever purchased.
