Identify this skull

[FinsnFur]

We couldn't figure out what kinda critter this was. Any ideas?

[possumal]

Looks like a crocogator to me! 

[DirtyDog]

Bear? 

[FinsnFur]

It's not a Bear, Coyote, Skunk, Fox etc, because the nasal cavity comes out on top of the head. I've never seen anything like it.

Also the eyes sockets are SO close to the jaw joints it's amazing. 

[Mallardsr]

Dont know bout the skull but the can is a BUDLIGHT........

[kiyitec]

I'll go with american alligator, maybe A pet dumped dwarf caiman or such.  If all else fails it must be A rabid wombat.  ~KT

[FinsnFur]

wombat? 

[studabaka]

My guess is sturgeon....... where did you find it?

[FinsnFur]

Actually Rick223 found it while mushroom hunting up here

[studabaka]

Well, I can't tell from the pics, but it does look like there are any teeth or root holes where teeth would have been. Plus no mammal or reptile that I know of has exposed nasal passages, so I'm guessing they really aren't nasal passages as in 'passages to get air to lungs, however a sinus cavity like that seems to point to something that is highly dependant on smell. While it has a crock shape, crocks nasal passages are not exposed.

All seems to point towards a pointie nosed fish, dependant on smell, and while having a significant skull mass, not having significant teeth..... Pointie nose bottom feeder of good size....... yup, my guess is sturgeon.

I'll have to ask him how close he was to the river. I know there's a pile of Sturgeon in the Wisconsin River.

[FinsnFur]

Bout a mile from the river. That's pretty wild that something would drag it that far away especially considering it's size ey?

And there are no bears here to speak of.

[weedwalker]

Teradactile? 

[possumal]

Teradactile? 

How many dictionaries did you use to find that one, Weedwalking guy?  :roflmao:

[awh]

Maybe you have found the missing link???? Or what Stu said. Yeah, what Stu said.

[Rick223]

Well I firgured it out with the help of Joey Williams, Director of Education at  Skulls Unlimited.
Its a turkey pelvis! :roflmao:

[Silencer]

I was thinkin gator-gar, but Sturgeon sounds more like it.

[studabaka]

Dang..... 

Well....  .... kind of a skull...... Pope's nose and all that 

[kiyitec]

Well then, it's official-  Jim can't tell cranium from rectum :roflmao:      ~KT
