Ileney,

Be aware that mammoth teeth and mammoth ivory tusks are different parts of the same animal. Though similar in composition, ivory tusks are not encased in a hard enamel as teeth.  If you do a web search of mammoth teeth you see more information and images of teeth. Below is a natural history link that discusses the rediscovery of mammoth teeth findings.
