Hi!

 

I suppose this is going to be a piece of cake for professionals like you. However this specimen who has most likely met a very violent end in the woods of northern scandinavia stilll remains unidentified to this day.

 

Would anyone be kind enough to take the time to help? (Second picture follows)

Looks like a deer. I would say whitetail deer because it's similar to a skull I have, but I'm not familiar with scandinavian deer. That's about as good as skulls come in the harsh woods, good find! :)

Not a fossil, but a recent one. :)

Well at least you are outside hunting bones.  Welcome to the Forum and best of luck in the future.

Looks like roe deer, or rådjur in Swedish. Very common in Scandinavia.

Second vote for Roe Deer, you didn't give a size, but I'm guessing it's about the right size for a juvenile roe.

I confirm it matches.

 

A big thanks to all of you for the work and for the welcome.
