Yes, the age of ivory can be estimated using several methods, primarily through radiocarbon dating of the organic material. This technique measures the decay of carbon-14 isotopes within the ivory, providing an approximate age for the specimen. Additionally, growth rings in the tusk can offer insights into its age, much like tree rings. However, accurately determining the exact age can be challenging due to factors like environmental conditions and the preservation state of the ivory.
Yes, ivory tends to yellow over time due to exposure to light, air, and environmental factors. This discoloration occurs as the organic compounds in the ivory break down and oxidize. Additionally, the accumulation of dirt and oils can contribute to the yellowing effect. The extent of yellowing can vary based on the specific conditions and age of the ivory.
One way is with a hot pin, this will tell you if it is plastic. A pin hot enough to burn pushed on a discrete place of an item in question when applied will soon tell you if it's plastic from the smell of the smoke. This will not differentiate it from bone. This can be done as ivory has a distinct very fine grain (as with woods). Bone however does not and often has small holes left where blood vessels were, whereas ivory has no blood vessels through it. It can still be difficult where niether of these distinctions are apparent and is difficult to demonstrate without pictorial examples to show.
