I found this Ice Age fossil in Peace River, Florida....

1+ inch length of the base of deer antler.

Photos show a side view and entire bottom 'button' base, where it was attached to skull. So I think this is a shed antler.

Yup. Those are not common but found with regularity in the Peace River. If you are not familiar with them you'd likely never guess what they were but once you know they are obvious in retrospect. We find broken tine tips as well.

 

 

Cheers.
