https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vellum

>>> Vellum is prepared animal skin or membrane, typically used as writing material. Parchment is another term for this material, from which vellum is sometimes distinguished, when it is made from calfskin, as opposed to that made from other animals,[1] or otherwise being of higher quality.[2]

----------- (1) from this text ALONE,
can you tell which term refers to higher-quality material ?

----------- (2) from this text ALONE,
can you tell which is made from Calfskin ?
