[Bonetools] identification of raw material

[Sonia O'Connor]

Dear Marina,

I'm not sure what it is from these images.  I cannot confirm antler. Please can you explain the features indicated in the image I have sent back to you.

All the best,

Sonia

Dear all,

We found this round artifact in an upper paleolithic site. I would like to hear your opinions about the identification of the raw material. The images were taken with a binocular microscope.
Thank you.
