An osseous head of a ram with horizontal horns of unknown age and origin was CT‐scanned (CIMOP, Siemens 64 bars) in a systematical manner. The encumbrancy measurements were 25,5 cm long, 13 cm width and 15 cm deep. The horn's lengths were 47 cm. The para‐sagittal cross‐sections (476) were these of the plane of acquisition. The cross‐sections in the two other perpendicular planes were reconstructed ones. They were 402 for the frontal ones. The horizontal plane of reference had been chosen as the orbito‐meatal one. The views were interesting on the descriptive and topographical aspects. The nine reconstructions brougth interesting details and also the possibility to move the sample without any hand manipulation. Two measurements of density on the horn gave 177 Hounsfield Unities near the bone (1490 UH) and 219 HU more distally on the horn.
