It does have some of the "ick" factor, but destroying it doesn't bring the animal back. </p><p><br /></p><p>On a similar note, I took a pair of fossil walrus tusk earrings with me to the dentist when I got my teeth cleaned. The ladies there were happy to help re-home them. The animal has been dead since before humans crossed the land bridge from Asia, but fossil material is a pain to sell too. It was easier to donate to the cause, as it were.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
