There are large/prominent "Rings" called Annuli that can be fairly easy to identify. It is clear horn growth with well defined annular groves and a lip. A large amount of growth occurs in the 2nd year, with closer rings after(not to be confused with false rings). Maybe we should do a video on this? ...if you Pause at exactly 2:02 on this video, it shows a decent image. From His Horn Tip, the first 2 rings are fairly faint.. likely rubbed quite a bit over the years, but the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th are pretty prominent... possibly 8, 9 and 10 just starting, but those are tricky to tell in this image. Maybe there is an expert who can help us out? Thank You Sue!
