Right you are John. Pedicel is a botanical term, pedicle the term for the antler root.

My faux pas... apologies to all.

The question remains however. It looks like a pedicle on mama moose’s head... is that normal or am I just imagining it.

Dean - I agree there's something there, but I'm guessing it's a different colored patch of hair. Hard to see a matching spot on her left side

I can tell you that I've seen tons of bare cow skulls and have never seen any kind of bone protuberance where the antler root would be.

Cows don't have antlers, which are shed each year. Wonder if that makes a difference?

That IS the difference John. No antlers, no pedicle. Not that way with caribou though. The females have small antlers.
