Fancy Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 This is the second of the two skull I cant ID. I am leaning toward canine of some sort. maybe? I assume this one is also from China considering the matrix still attached looks the same as the larger skull in my other topic. Any help is appreciated.

Mahnmut Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Hello, Maybe Ictitherium? A less specialized (less bonecrushing) hyaena-relative. Also somewhat restored? When doing an image search of "gansu fossil" thats what seemed most fitting in my eyes.

jpc Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 this one is much more dog-like. I don't know about hyenas, but these seem to come from the Miocene of china. No coyotes over there but I am sure there are other dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
