Details for Animal skeletal material

Use for an object made from any part of an animal's skeleton - ivory, bone, antler, horn, tooth or shell. Because this is a large catch-all category, it is essential to enter more information in the Description field. It can be difficult to tell cut-up pearls and shells apart - if in doubt, it is probably better to use 'Animal skeletal material' than 'Gem'.
