Hi all,
I am hoping someone can help me identify an antler tine that was recovered
from a snow patch in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Its age is currently
unknown but could be anywhere from Late Pleistocene to modern. I am not
real familiar with antlers but I have narrowed it down to elk (Cervus
elaphus) or deer (Odocoileus hemionus). It is smooth in texture (seemingly
like deer) but rather large (consistent with elk). Can anyone help, either
with literature suggestions or helpful identification hints? Thank you
much.
