Aw pshaw Bob :)

No, the thing that looks like a rhino horn is a river worn stub of a Sitka Spruce branch. You find them on the rivers on the west coast of the island (Vancouver Island). They come in a range of sizes, and are rich in resin so you can use them whole, or shave bits off, to use as a fire starter.

They have sentimental value for me.
