Any test you do requires a baseline or calibration of some sort. Using a geiger counter, exposing photographic film or an electroscope are three methods of testing for ionizing radiation.

Which of these will be the simplest and most affordable?

Are there any simple ways to test the amount of radioactive traces in tissues from dead animals? For some years ago I bought some Rhino horns from an auction company which they claimed were from the interwar period. I´ve been told that I could find out this by testing for radioactivity in the tissue because animals which were alive after ww2 had a larger amount of radioactivity in the body because of all the nuclear test explosions after that time.

Anybody here who know how I can do this?
