The true "horny" part of rhinoceros horn is an epidermal derivative, consisting of keratinized tubules of cells set in an amorphous keratinized matrix.The four rhinoceros horn and imitations for this study,365nm ultraviolet light to the wavelength as the source have a fluorescence analysis;use classic method to analysis; microscope was used to identify rhinoceros horn and its forgery,and scanning electron microscope was also introduce into the research on chips of rhinoceros horn.The species of these samples were determined according to the DNA.Come to a conclusion:1.Various identification of each has advantages but applicationis different.2.A quick identification method was proposed for the identification of rhinoceros horn and the imitation of rhinoceros horn use microscope and scanning electron microscope.3.The species of these samples could be accurate determined according to the DNA.Found a quick identification method was proposed for the identification of rhinoceros horn and the imitation of rhinoceros horn.The application of this method will help the law enforcement stuff monitor the market and fight against the illegal trading in China. It is also of great significance to punish illegal trade by international cooperation, to protect the rhinoceros.
