Walrus Tusks - Odobenus rosmarus
Example of Walrus tusks: large outer pair - male tusks with natural finish, 1.8 kg (4 lbs) each,  58 cm (23"); Middle pair - male tusks polished 1.05 kg (2.3 lbs) each, 48 cm (18"); Inner pair - female tusks polished 0.50 kg (1.1 lbs), 38 cm (15")
Walrus tusks arise from two modified canine teeth. They tend to be oval in cross section. The composition in cross section consists of an outer cementum layer. Within that layer lies the dentine. The dentine of the walrus tusk in turn is divided into an outer primary dentine, which has a classical ivory appearance, and then within that layer a secondary dentine, which has an intriguing marbled appearance. It is the presence of this secondary dentine that is characteristic of walrus ivory and differentiates it from other animals.
