Legit or Not?

Okay, are we all in a agreement that this just seems too easy to fake?

But what if it isn't fake?

I don't think it's fake, but I have a complete explanation for it which I emailed to them. Here is a copy of my email:

That looks like a small antler to me and not a tooth. Antlers are live tissue and that would explain the fleshiness of the "root". Antlers can be very sharp because they are a weapon used during breeding season, which is when you say you came upon this animal. The deer was probably injured severely or killed in a breeding duel. Then some other animal, perhaps a Scottish wildcat, came and had a meal. It is common for big cats to tear their prey in half and haul it away to seclusion to feast on it. I have to admit, it is a strange looking antler, but I'm not from Scotland. My ancestors were, but I've never been there. So maybe you should do a little research at the library and look up Scottish deer and check out their antlers, because I'm 99.9% sure that is an antler.
