But only because it's too late for us to endanger mammoths much.

Fossilized mammoth ivory scrimshawed bracelets, $800 each.

However, buying and selling mammoth ivory and other fossils encourages the trade in fossils. This in turn leads to the vandalism and destruction of archaeological and palaeontological sites - which is why I tend to get quite angry when people show me fossils they have bought.

My dad is an archaeologist, and I--yeah, there weren't really words for the incandescence of the anger I feel towards the people who do this.
