Seeking old bone

For one project, I'm looking for some mammoth bone. Has to be mammoth, nothing else will work--it's a gift for a paleontologist friend. Tooth and ivory won't work, as this will be a working knife.
For the other project I'm looking for Stellar sea cow bone.
I'd be interested in buying or trading for both of these, or any leads on good sources.
Thanks!

coffeecup How did that Stellar sea cow bone look to you?
Have you done anything to it yet ?
Perhaps if you have some left over I could buy it back to do a pocket knife with.

The sea cow bone looks good, except I won't have it back till sometime mid-August! I loaned it to one of the Boy Sprouts who is doing a presentation or project on fossilization (or not) under varying conditions. All I've managed to do so far is cut a small section off and take some microphotographs so the kid could show them.
We can work something out on your pocket knife scales when the bone gets back to me, send me a reminder about mid-August.
