Rifle bullets in the pulp of elephant tusks cause different excrescences, which are determined by the various materials of bullets, the point of entry and seriousness of inflammation. In two present cases so-called bridges are built by contre-coup effect after bullet penetration into the pulp of the tusk. The material of the bridges contains secondary ivory which differs completely from the characteristic criss-cross patterns of ivory.
象牙牙髓中的来福枪子弹会引发不同的赘生物,这些赘生物由子弹的各种材质、进入点以及炎症的严重程度所决定。在目前的两例病例中,子弹射入象牙牙髓后通过对冲效应形成了所谓的“桥”。这些“桥”的物质包含次生象牙,其与象牙特有的纵横交错纹理完全不同。
