"Full curl Woolly Mammoth Tusk, discovered in Ice Age mud, fine wind blown silt driven and deposited by thawing glaciers of the former Ice Age. Entire herds of Woolly Mammoth crossing their ancient trails as northern ice blockaded any course they may take both from the north and to the east.  They dwelled in an 'Ice Free' corridor in northern Alaska referred to as the North Slope that spans all the way to Russia to as far east as the Mackenzie river system. This North Slope is that of the northern prairies of the Brooks range.  Thousands of generations of Woolly Mammoth and other species had lived in this prairie with it's lush short summer seasons of grasslands and lakes with river systems. I have ventured here many times, and no doubt traveled along the old trails that laced these regions, as the trails are now buried in shallow turf underfoot still resonates with it's voices also preserved in the dimension of time known as the Pleistocene."

"Few 'ancient' ivories in the world are as 'rich' as this example."  "Prehistoric Narwhal Tusk, sculpted and eternal"

"Expanded view of Mammoth...sculpted relief on Mammoth Tooth."

"Fully 'One Side' relief sculpture, of Mammoth, and others of the Ice Age...I found this tooth in an Arctic stream, underwater, among other rocks and boulders."

"Sea Gull"...skull, sometimes discovered just lying on the forest floor, sometimes along a beach, on a hill side or in a cliff face.  Skulls are where you find them, they are 'sculptures' in their own right, as this one in the photo, sculpted from 'Mammoth Ivory.'

"Mortuary Mask with head ornaments, 'missing,' and a larger hole under the 'chin' to 'peg' the mask to a wooden body.  It had stood near a grave for a perhaps a century before falling into the tundra, where it became frozen and preserved in this perpetual ice, (permafrost)."  (Mammoth bone, surface erosion)

"Caramel colored ivory, sculpted in my studio, a nice piece of ancient walrus ivory, I had discovered along a beach near  Kotzebue, Alaska."
