I followed the Collections Manager to a section of the geology storeroom where the tusks (specimens 67783.01-.04) were stored in specially made supports. Survivors of the 1906 disaster, they exhibited cracks and stains left by blackening flames and smoke – physical traces of circumstances that could not be more different than the icy conditions in which many mammoth tusks are found in thawing ground.

One might think that playing detective on the trail of now-destroyed models of long-extinct animals could yield meagre or less than compelling results. On the contrary, the body of evidence has turned out to be so substantial that I continually find myself overwhelmed by seemingly unending avenues of inquiry to pursue.
