Giant Mammoth Tusks Arrival From Keewalik to Seattle
In Seattle the largest ivory tusks ever found from a frozen North location have arrived aboard the Corwin from Keewalik 300 miles northwest of Nome. The twelve foot relics, recovered from glacial beds by M. F. Moran, will go east to the Smithsonian. The tusks weigh 168 pounds and a half, and are in superb condition with fine quality ivory. Moran pursued the find after an Eskimo reported a massive tusk projecting from a glacier, and subsequent expeditions yielded the second piece after thawing and careful excavation to twelve feet deep.
