Fossil walrus ivory
or old walrus ivory is derived from two sources. The
majority of this ivory is excavated by Eskimos
from old village sites and is 100 to 2,500 years old. The
color of the ivory is dependent on the length of time
buried and
the color of the soil.
A lesser amount of
old walrus ivory is collected along the beach after a
storm
and is called Beach Ivory.
Some of the beach ivory is washed out of old village sites,
now underwater, and is recognizable as artifacts. Most
of the beach ivory is derived from walruses which have
died from natural causes and is usually found as whole
tusks or large sections of tusks and can range from white
to black in color.
Fossil walrus ivory comes in all sizes and
colors and is used for carving, scrimshaw, jewelry and
knife handles.
The
largest piece along the top is a 30 inch, 5.5 lb.
whole beach ivory male walrus tusk.
The
smaller pieces are chips made by stone age workmen
while making ivory tools.
