Tooth

So I thought this was so gross that I took a picture and then threw it away. I found out later it could be valuable. If it is an elk tooth, it could be ivory and they make jewelry out of them. They only have 2 teeth that are ivory. Some scientists believe they are remnants of saber-like tusks that their elk ancestors had and used in combat. All that would have been awesome to know before I threw it away. It still had tooth gristle stuff on it!
