We're trying to locate a conservator experienced in osteology to advise on stabilizing several individual elk antlers. They were originally recovered from the bottom of a lake and are estimated at about 600 years old based on the sediments below the skeletons.
They've been stacked in a large box for an unknown number of years. The antlers are splitting longitudinally, and the box can't be moved without some damage to the specimens. </div>
