Unreferenced date December 2009 Velvetantler is a mainstay of traditional Chinese medicine , probably second only to ginseng in importance. Velvetantler does not refer to the velvety skin on growing antlers, but rather the whole cartilaginous antler in a pre calcified stage. Typically the antler is cut off near the base after it is about two thirds of its potential full size, and before any significant calcification occurs. The antler is dried and is used powdered or in tea form for a wide variety of health remedy and health maintenance purposes. Velvetantler is said to be effective as an anti inflammatory, anti cancer, immune stimulant, and pro growth agent, though these claims have not been verified through scientific study. Moose , as all members of the deer family, will produce new antlers yearly primarily males, except in caribou reindeer . The bulls are not harmed by antler removal, which is generally done around June in the northern hemisphere. After the antlers are cut off the bull may grow a small antler pair to replace them or perhaps no regrowth, but the antler base is left, and that button will be shed early the following year, at the same time the whole antler would have been shed, when the new antlers start to grow. Exceptionally large elk antlers can weigh 50 lb 22.6 kg for a pair. These grow rapidly from about March or April until July again, Northern hemisphere . Most of the world s supply of velvetantler comes from Red Deer red deer and Elk elk or wapiti , including a large deer farming industry in New Zealand . A smaller percent is produced in America, mostly from elk. Due to the size and quality of Canadian and American elk antlers, they have been a preferred source of velvet. It is most often available in capsule form, containing 250 mg or 500 mg of dried velvetantler powder. The velvetantler is processed under USDA supervision ...

The Antler orogeny is a mountain building episode that is named for Antler Peak, at Battle Mountain, Nevada . The orogeny extensively deformed Paleozoic rocks of the Great Basin in Nevada and western Utah during Late Devonian and Early Mississippian time. In the late Devonian, the Antler volcanic island arc terrane collided with what was then the west coast of North America in the vicinity of today s border between Utah and Nevada. The collision zone is today signified by the geological alignment called the Carlin Unconformity or Carlin Trend , an area enriched in various ores including gold. It is also represented by the Roberts Mountains Thrust . It is broadly contemporary with the Acadian orogeny of eastern North America.
