LynH Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Appears to be a bone fragment with air cells found in the Peace River. I was guessing skull fragment but would appreciate an expert opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laditz Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Yes, that's a skull fragment. I'm not too familiar with the fauna you can find there, but if I found that here I would say it's from a big mammal (like Mammoth). They have relatively thin skulls with those big air pockets you see on the inside, to keep the weight of the big skull down 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
