Irish elk was one of the most impressive creatures to inhabit the North Sea area. Its amazing antlers could grow to enormous sizes and are among the most sought after and expensive fossils.

No restoration whatsoever. The black-and-white section of the ruler in the image represents 10 cm / 3.9 inch.
