Found this skull on the Arkansas river in Wichita. Anyone have an idea on if this is domestic dog or wolf? We can and do find skulls and bones going back to the ice age on the river so want to finally know what I have

It is shaped very much like a Pitbull ( Bull Terrier ).

[LordTrilobite]

Looks like a doggo to me. Looks a tad short for wolf.

[Misha]

I agree with others, definitely a dog judging by its shape.

Poor Fido.

yeah, domestic dog.  Not wolf, fox or coyote.  The forehead is that of something like a pitbull, boston terrier or something else with a smooshed in face.

thanks all, my other skulls were easy to identify but this one I figured was a dog but wasn't completely sure
