Dino Dad 81 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Hey all, My wife was given this skull and was wondering if anyone can identify the type of animal it came from. We don't know the locality. She'd also like to know anything about the ornamentation glued to the top of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daves64 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Looks like dyed Howlite (fake turquoise) added to a modern skull. 2 1 Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 This skull (teeth and horns) seems to be atypical of Bos taurus, the common domestic cow. Maybe it's a cross with Bos indicus, something like a brahman bull. 2 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Pristis Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Maybe we have a language problem. Perhaps a cross-bred cow. Neither the teeth nor the horns are typical of Bos taurus. 1 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
