Thanks for the correction Mitchell. Do you think the tools were fashioned before the ivory became mineralized?

Here's another that was just too pretty to cut; lots of green color and character. We could certainly have made 2 knives from this piece pictured in the middle. This was another that was likely a chisel on one end and perhaps a bearing block. The dimple was just too small to be a firebowl.
James said "it's going to need a big blade to tame that handle" Well indeed it is and 3/8" forged stock too.

Jim, I would guess before, but I don't know. It would make sense that they would harvest the tusks when making a food kill.

Thanks Mitchell.

Warren -- For me that last one is the best of the bunch in terms of the FWI. Really nice.

Thanks Jim. It has the best color. They're all unique in their own way.
