<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 206058, member: 54"]Great pictures, much better collection than we usually get here. In the 4th pic down you can clearly see how a carved piece of coarse-grained wood has been pieced into the bone to provide a flat-bottom base to display the bone. There are at least three iron nails visible in or near the wood to hold it into/onto the bone. The wood is further identified by the grain visible in the pic of the bottom surface, along with insect damage. All of the rest of the piece looks like bone to me, but I can't tell whether it is Giraffe, camel, or what.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
