Guest Clive Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 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. Which species would produce such an antler?

Professor Rhubarb Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I'll start with.... Roe Deer Buck? Or Elk... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clive Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Rhubarb Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Ahhh, good ones! So much for the early bird catching the worm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clive Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Ahh.. the early bird doesn't get the worm but will the second mouse get the cheese?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodworm Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Mule Deer? Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clive Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 What.. No picture?? and no cheese!! This is a Mule deer antler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Rhubarb Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 The sixth mouse gets the cheese?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clive Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I doubt if even the 10th mouse will get cheese!! Ahh I see Dustins having a look.. could he be victorious or will he retire defeated ? Does toscano know this stuff or will he too be humiliated???

Professor Rhubarb Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 It's deer antler. Like the one in this picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clive Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Those are all White-tail deer antlers.. which mine is not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Kelso Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkvesic Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Red deer antler? http://imgs.tootoo.com/d8/f4/d8f4a632b85fe...3e7ef8aa476.jpg http://tinyurl.com/y8te6qx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clive Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Oh dear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toscano Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 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. -t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clive Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 It is rather unusual isn't it... a credit to you for recognising its uniqueness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkvesic Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Pere David's Deer (Elaphurus davidianus) from China! Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkvesic Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Looks like your specimen has his own built-in hay rake, Leon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clive Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 And its the Dutchman who takes the prize... Yes its a section of Milu antler.. otherwise know as Pere David's deer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A8re_David's_Deer Well done Leon.. what material would you like?

Leon Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Yesss! The Replying Dutchman did it again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clive Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 If it was in my power I'd give you one of these.. you haven't got one yet have you?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkvesic Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Well done, Leon! Nice to see from the Wiki article that zoos served some purpose in breeding the captive herds and re-introducing them to China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Have to think about the material. (You promised me once hippo tooth, but I promised you a 19th century Dutch bug print. Will send soon.) It wasn't easy to find the answer, by the way. Had to use all my google tricks. But Clive, tell me what this is and I will include it in the package: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
