Woolly mammoth ivory is still found in the permafrost of North America and Siberia. It is identical to the ivory of elephants, hippopotami and walruses but it does not threaten any living species. Most mammoth ivory is over ten thousand years old, since the end of the ice age, thus making it rare and expensive. Like elephant and walrus ivory, it is valued by carvers, scrimshanders and jewelry makers. Woolly mammoth ivory is Alaska's state fossil.
