Could some of you help me with a project I'm working on?

What I need is the measurments of the average Elephant tusks being taken now.

I need total length of each tusk and diameter around base.
Mid length diameter would be a big plus.
The weight of each tusk that you have info on would be great.

Thanks very much for your help
Steve
