Topic: Velvet (antler covering)


  
  Antler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antlers are the large and complex horn-like appendages of deer, consisting of bony outgrowths from the head with no covering of keratin as is found in true horns.
While an antler is growing it is covered with highly vascular skin called velvet, which supplies oxygen and nutrients to the growing bone; once the antler has achieved its proper size, the velvet is lost and the antler's bone dies.
Due to its hardness, antler was an important material for tools from the Palaeolithic onwards (points, harpoons, needles etc).
