TY - JOUR PY - 1988// TI - Two cases of gunshot wounds in elephant tusks JO - Tierärztliche Praxis A1 - von Solodkoff, M. SP - 201 EP - 203 VL - 16 IS - 2 N2 - Rifle bullets in the pulp of elephant tusks cause different excrescences, which are determined by the various materials of bullets, the point of entry and seriousness of inflammation. In two present cases so-called bridges are built by contre-coup effect after bullet penetration into the pulp of the tusk. The material of the bridges contains secondary ivory which differs completely from the characteristic criss-cross patterns of ivory.
