Search4 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Haven't seen antler like this and was hoping someone knows what animal it might be from? Unlike typical antler I find with convex or flat base, its base is slightly concave. Also at its base are what look like 3 additional points that are likely broken and incomplete. I looked through some books but I couldn't identify it. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calhounensis Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I'm thinking it's a pathology of an Odocoileus antler. I have never seen one as a fossil before though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I agree with calhounensis . . . I think that aberrant antlers are not uncommon. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boesse Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Take a look at the nearest Cabela's or Scheels (or LL Bean) and look around at the various deer mounts. Those little knobs are actually quite common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
