The difficulty in distinguishing elephant from mammoth ivory is not only a problem for the regulators but also, I think, for the collector or curator. There was a recognised trade in mammoth ivory from Scandinavian and Russian bogs into the UK and I think it is probable many artifacts assumed to be African ivory are in fact mammoth.
