OK.. I thought we'd have some fun with a PRIZE.. I'll send some material of your choice, (with-in reason, legal and if I got any) to who-ever provides the first correct answer.

Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so,
For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me.

Please provide a picture of suggested answer... that would not only create a nice database of different antlers, but we will also be able to see how close you are..
OR NOT as the case may be... these are Roe and Elk antlers Rhubarb

Clearly it's an unusual form of the fabled and dangerous Jackalope, and with 18" length, more ornery than the standard!
Not to be trifled with.

This pattern of tine branching is completely unlike anything I've ever seen in the cervidae family...
I've never seen tines grow symmetrically out of the main antler.

It is rather unusual isn't it... a credit to you for recognising its uniqueness.

It is very rare, of course, coming from Clive.
A little bit syberian roe deer (capreolus pygargus) and a bit of the extinct Stephanocemas from China. New specie?

I thought it might be a cross-breed, too, since His Nibs disdained my first offering - siberian roe deer and caribou? He's probably stuck it all together, though, from various offcuts scattered around his bench.

Looks like your specimen has his own built-in hay rake, Leon.
