Walrus tusk ivory comes from two modified upper canines. The tusks of a Pacific walrus may attain a length of one meter. Walrus teeth are also commercially carved and traded. The average walrus tooth has a rounded, irregular peg shape and is approximately 5cm in length. The tip of a walrus tusk has an tooth enamel enamel coating which is worn away during the animal s youth. Fine longitudinal cracks, which appear as radial cracks in cross section, originate in the cementum and penetrate the dentine. These cracks can be seen throughout the length of the tusk. Whole cross sections of walrus tusks are generally oval with widely spaced indentations. The dentine is composed of two types primary dentine and secondary dentine often called osteodentine . Primary dentine has a classical ivory appearance. Secondary dentine looks marble or oatmeal like. Walrus ivory carving and engraving has been an important folk art for people of the Arctic since prehistoric times, among them the Inuit , Inupiaq and Yupik peoples Yupik of Greenland and North America and the Chukchi people Chukchi and Koryak of Russia .

History Reportedly an ethnic trait of Celts and Gaul s, the walrus moustache enjoyed immense popularity among men in the latter part of the 19th and early years of the 20th centuries.

After falling out of favor in the 1920s it enjoyed a temporary resurgence during the youth counterculture revolution of the 1960s.
