Nancy -
You are correct - carpet beetle larvae did this.

Subject: [PestList] Frass and damage on horn button
#yiv2630696620 P {margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;}Hello-- we're cleaning and
processing some collections that have already been through a freeze cycle.
One item (a fabric bag with a button closure) has buttons that are seriously
damaged, and residual frass. I've tentatively identified this as a horn
button, and my guess is that this is damage from dermestid larvae. Wondering
if anyone might be able to confirm that, or suggest another culprit?
(note-- the fabric is not damaged)
Thanks very much!
Nancy
