Thats not bone. The outer ear and tip of the nose is made of something called cartilage. When you are born, most of your body is made of cartilage. Over your childhood, cartilage fuses into bones, this is also why babies and young children are more flexible that grown adults. Some parts of your body, such your nose and your ear, never change into bone, and are forever cartilage. :)
