Fossil Antler Fragments - Paleontological Illustration and Analysis #1668035 (License: Personal Use)

This scientific illustration depicts three fossilized antler fragments-labeled 1, 2, and 3-recovered from Pleistocene deposits. Fragment 1 shows a bifurcated tine with surface weathering and a fracture near the base; fragment 2 is a proximal beam section with preserved pedicle attachment; fragment 3 is a distal tine tip with abrasion marks and cortical texture. A scale bar indicates relative size for accurate morphometric analysis.

Used in academic publications, museum exhibits, and paleontology education to illustrate deer or cervid evolution, taphonomic processes, and fossil identification methods; targets researchers, students, and science communicators seeking anatomical detail.
