I killed a bull in Oct. threw the head over the fence into a blackberry patch. Cutting back berry patch today realized I forgot to pull ivories.
they had fallen out(only teeth that did) and were laying next to these canine looking teeth.
is that the root section(long/narrow) to the tooth next to ivory’s?? Never noticed these before. Probably silly question but I’ve never paid attention to an elks mouth before.
Thanks

As already mentioned, those are the roots. You can have have some pretty cool things made out of ivories! I even considered having my wedding ring made out of one!
