[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 2525760, member: 45"]Antler is a type of bone material, so technically all antlers are bone, but not all bones are antlers. Thus the distinction is made when identifying the material buttons, jewelry, tools, pipes, etc. are made from. When it comes to the properties of bone and antler, they are actually quite different. And when it comes to antlers, that's why they're called "antlers," not "bones." You seldom hear anyone saying "That buck has a nice set of bones on his head!"[/QUOTE]
