Description: | *non loc* These tusks have a bulge half way along the length. This is indicative of a nutritional check i.e. food was scarce and the animal was starving. When food became plentiful again, to compensate for a weak area in the tusk, the animal laid down a pulse of bone (pers. comm. D. Houston). | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | VERTTETRMAMMAL : PROBELEPH : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
