		One theory held that the propulsion provided by the narwhal's tail was somehow unbalanced, and this asymmetrical driving force was balanced by the twisted tusk.
		Distant observation of swimming narwhals shows that their "horns" are surely straight, for they move as well as their dolphin cousins--even though they are following those mighty, twisted tusks.

		The Narwhal (Monodon monoceros) is a medium-sized whale found in Arctic waters.
		Male NARWHALS are known for their long tooth, one of their two teeth in their upper jaw.
		Narwhals' scientific name is "monodon monoceros." They are sometimes called "Unicorn of the sea." Narwhals are now an endangered species because, in old days men would often kill narwhals and then they would take the narwhal's tusk (known as the right tooth) off.

		Information about the chemical properties of narwhal tusk is limited to reports about dentin and “cementum” composition obtained from powdered specimens without distinction relative to depth or position along the long tusk.
		Conclusions: MH and E both appear to be correlated with the MCR in narwhal tooth tissues away from the tusk base, but all three properties and the degree of correlation are location specific.
		Though we have visited and begun photometric analysis of narwhal skeletal collections at the Museum of Nature in Canada, Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen, the Smithsonian Institution and the American Museum of Natural History, we are still seeking others that may have additional collections, particularly those with rare specimens.
