Mammoth TuskIts not whole, but this mammoth tusk is the biggest I've ever found. At first glance it looks just like a bone, but when I turn it there are growth rings like a tree. Toofless said this is the first tusk that he has seen from the site that produced all the mammoth teeth (we went there in our 2010 Venice FL dive)
