Fossildude19 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Brightened and cropped: Maybe a racoon skull? Are you sure it's a fossil? Does it smell when exposed to a flame? 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Yeah .. it doesn't look like a fossil .. or rather it looks modern. I was going to say the same .. something like a racoon ? The photos are at a bit of a funny angle too so that doesn't help as much for an ID. Cheers, Brett 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pemphix Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Some kind of modern mammal - no fossil imo.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Definitely looks like some type of small Carnivora. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahnmut Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I´d say female Racoon, we had a similar discussion some weeks ago. many of the racoon pics you find have stronger ridges along the braincase, those are males.
