A recent survey of our collections has found a mastodon tusk.  
Unfortunately it has radon in it.  As  the curator of a modest sized 
historical society, what is the best course of action to take?  (Does 
radon have anything to do with Carbon-14 dating?)  My specialty is local 
history, not archaeology.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Karl Wolff, Curator
History Center at Olmsted County
