LordTrilobite Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Some more angles might help. Maybe from the side? Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordTrilobite Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Well it's definitely the braincase of some type of mammal. Maybe a sheep or some type of deer? 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnoun11 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 look like a cat skull definitly mammals. http://www.anatomicalprints.com/Cat_Skull_Anatomy_Poster.html The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

ClearLake Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I'd have to agree with @LordTrilobite that it is a sheep. Based on the shape of the parietal bone it is definitely an Artiodactyl and the rapidly flaring eye sockets and shape of the occipital condoyles as well as overall size, suggest a sheep of some type. Very fun find!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
