This horn has great detail on groves and had mainly repair as many breaks(crack fills) were all completely handled making it very very strong . The colour is great, as is the shape. It was an underground find, and with no restoration. It has some deep grooves that appear totally natural to the horn so it has a great morphology. Garfield County , Montana USA (late Cretaceous)
