The bit that they are really after is the last section that is embedded and under the skin. Another interesting web site is http://www.sa-venues.com/wildlife/wildlife_elephant.htm I think by now you have gathered that I am passionate about ellies

PS got hold of this little snipped for you "The tusk of both species is mostly made of calcium phosphate in the form of apatite. As a piece of living tissue, it is relatively soft (compared with other minerals such as rock), and the tusk, also known as ivory "
