> Dear List,
> I have recently been asked to look at an elephant tooth (molar) which
> supposedly came from a medieval context in Northern England. Can anyone
> recommend a publication which deals with the morphology of elephant
> teeth, as well as criteria for distinguishing elephant and mammoth teeth (I
> am considering the possibility that the material is intrusive, or a discarded
> curio rather than a relic population of mammoths surviving in Northern
> England into the medieval period).
> Kind regards,
> Don.
