I found a skull of a young wild pig recently, and the tusks seem to lie along the inside of the jawbone. these were about three inches long or so and were curved so that when they grew out they naturally turned outward.
It was pretty cool seeing how they work.

Wow that is neat.

I hope it is in good shape, if so you can clean it up and varnish it.

I have a picture of a Javelina shot by one of my ex-wife's ex-husbands...I'll have to see if I can find it.

I once found a cat carcass up in the woods that had died sometime before hand.

It's skull had been picked clean by elements and ants, etc so I took it home and cleaned it up and coated it with varnish. The lower jaw fits nicely into the top half and is quite a conversation piece.

As is my rabbit's foot that fell behind a shelf at the World Famous Treehouse gift shop where I worked years ago. It is just bones, looks like a little hand...it is funny to ask someone if they would like to see my rabbit's foot and I put it in their hand. It has been dropped many times...LOL
