note = "Funding Information: The authors thank Cathy Kennedy, Patricia Scallion, and Alex Feargrieve, Gordie Hall, and Prof. J. Michael Lee for assistance with the thermal property measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging and mechanical testing, respectively. Thanks also are extended to Prof. Michael Locke (University of Western Ontario, London, Canada) for helpful discussions on the structure of ivory and to Environment Canada for loan of the ivory sample. Financial contributions from NSERC (through grants to M.A.W. and a postgraduate scholarship to M.B.J.), the Killam Trusts (through a research professorship to M.A.W. and predoctoral scholarship to M.B.J.), and the Canada Foundation for Innovation, Atlantic Innovation Fund, and other partners which fund the Facilities for Materials Characterization managed by the Institute for Research in Materials, are gratefully acknowledged.",
