Mammoth Tusk

3D Model

This is a mammoth tusk from New Ulm, Minnesota. It received a conservation treatment from the Science Museum of Minnesota for two years before returning hom to New Ulm in 2022.

I was asked to 3D scan the tusk while it was at the Science Museum of Minnesota so that the paleontologists there would have a digital asset they could reference.

Here is a news article about the conservation of the mammoth tusk and hip fragment: https://www.nujournal.com/news/local-news/2022/11/14/preserved-mammoth-tusk-back-in-bchs-museum/

Here is a video the Science Museum of Minnesota created which is online at the BCHS Museum website about the conservation process: https://www.browncountyhistorymn.org/collections/
