Two Fossil Skulls From Estate Sale... Id?

[Circuitcat]

Hello! I recently purchased these two skulls from an estate auction and I would love to know what they are. I have a vague idea as to the identity but I would like a bit of help!

Skull #1:

Miocene period fossil of a hyena skull? 7 1/4" long, possibly Percrocuta Genus?

Good condition with less than 15% restoration.
Site: Turkey

Skull #2:

Miocene Period mustelidae or mephitidae skull fossil?; 4" long

Excellent condition with less than 10% restoration.
Site: Turkey

The auction stated both were from Turkey (as far as origional location) and dated to the Miocene. The rest are my guesses as to what they might be.

I would say more from China.

I would say more from China.

Certainly could be. I'm sure the auction house has no idea except what they were told.

Any ideas?

I just bought one from an estate sale as well. It looks like to one you have pix of up above. A different feed on the forum I looked at yesterday said that most of these are from China and are cobbled together from several specimens, and random bone and are basically faked. I hope yours is authentic!
