Not sure... Giraffe just felt right...
First time I've seen Jigged Bone and been told what it was.

Stabilized means, having a stabilizing agent infused into the piece to strengthen it and help hold it together. CA Glue is often the agent, and a vacuum process is often used to infuse the target piece.
Stabilized Bone, Mammoth Ivory, Turquoise and Spalted Wood are just a few materials you might find out there.

Most of the stabilising processes are trade secrets and not revealed to the general public. I think some of them involve epoxy and pressure.

Elk ivory (Tooth ivory)
Rams horn (From close to the tip of the horn)
Or (And this is an out there guess) Moose antler?

Kinda missed the boat... don't yah think?
