RichardB Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 About the year 1767 a cutler at Sheffield in Yorkshire in sawing an elephant's tooth into proper laminae (or scantlings) of ivory met with a resistance which he had great difficulty to overcome. After he had got through the obstruction it proved to be an iron bullet lodged in the very body of the tooth without any visible mark externally of the place where it entered.
