It's probably not from a mammoth, it looks far too small.

Your link doesn't work. Can't find anything specific on the search.

As you can see the link has a bleep in it so you need to look at the Metro news linked to find on Hunstanton beach.

If that's from a mammoth I have a few questions.

Why is it so short?

Why is it so thin?

Who performed the circumcision?

Can't think why a mammoth was even suggested.

There were plenty of small mammals around at the time and they don't have the same kind of sheath as humans - some can retract the whole thing ..... maybe that would explain the ringed bit?

Good to have a reply from someone with some sheath expertise.

Happy New Year btw.

Gawd I agree JD SS to the rescue with her first hand expertise😀
I am not convinced that the size is indicative of the scale of animal it came from, I always remember a cartoon of a guy forced to carry his tackle in a wheelbarrow, and before you ask no it wasn't me👀

Ah yes Buster Gonad, I remember it well.

Was that the cartoon where the bloke was doing that and a terrified-looking woman was taking refuge up a tree?

So you two were Viz readers?

Could be from a small primate perhaps, or my guess is that it could be part of a fossilised marine creature called an acorn worm

Yes Buster Gonad the boy with the unfeasibly large testicles.

Clearly you've spent a long time studying such things first hand (so to speak), I bow to your superior knowledge.
