This buck may have been rubbing his head and a little granule of his pedicle rubbed off and stuck on his eye lid and the little antler resulted.

Very cool buck.
Well shucks. I had visions of a skull with that tine coming through the eye socket, but the tine will come off with the skin. Such is reality.
