These myths include a narwal tusk at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York linked to unicorn horns, a unicorn skeleton at the Natural History Museum in Germany identified as a mixture of wooly rhinoceros and mammoth, and a griffin claw at the British Museum connected to St. Cuthbert, whose shrine in Durham, England has two claws and griffin eggs.
