potential miocene hyena skull?

Recommended Posts

need some help identifying this, im pretty good with extant species but this stumped me. just purchased and has yet to come in the mail. seller didnt include any information except that it was a miocene hyena and these pictures. i know this is super vague, so no worries if we cant identify it

i was told it could be a percrocuta, it measures 7-8 inches, 17-20 centimeters long

i will be able to describe more when i receive it

I think better views will be necessary to make an informed opinion.

leaning towards Adcrocuta eximia but I'm not an expert

Isn´t it a pity, that all the important info is lost? Now its just a several million years old skull out of its context...
