Abstract
A new and improved animal identification ear devices assembly consisting of a novel rivet, a flexible base having rib-like reinforcement ramps, an animal ear tag and an applicator tool. The flexible base allows the rivet and the tag to move forward when mounted through the ear, until the reinforcement ramps bend together, locking and stiffening the rivet and preventing it from being pulled through the animal ear.
