|  MAMMOTH IVORY
It
was in 1799, that for the first time a Russian fisherman found a
fossilized mammoth carcass and chopped out the ivory to sell it. Even
today, mammoth ivory can be found in the cold regions of Arctic and
Siberia. Mammoth Ivory has filled in the void left by the ban on
Elephant ivory.
Extinction:
Woolly mammoths were contemporaries of Early Man. Hunted by humans for
meat, skin and ivory for food and clothing, Woolly mammoths were
herbivorous. The sudden extinction of Woolly mammoths has been studied
and researched, showing that it was a result of sudden climatic changes
during the end of the Ice Age. Over hunting may have been a factor in
their extinction 10,000 years ago.
