Ivory

Several recently carved pieces of Siberian mammoth ivory have been
accidentally stained with a red dye of unknown origin. The pieces
were carved and damaged in St. Petersburg, Russia. Can anyone direct
me to recent studies concerning the morphology and conservation of
Siberian fossil ivory? Thank you.
