Description
The Mastodon tusk at the University of Northern Iowa provides students and faculty a unique challenge in research and conservation
Determining the chemical composite of the tusk is difficult due to the work done on it since its discovery
The use of UV VIS spectroscopy can be used to differentiate between tusk and plaster fragments
