SawTooth Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I found this skull yesterday, I didn't keep it, but I was curious about what it was. Im thinking that the most obvious answer would be raccoon. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 without actually looking it p, I am going to say racoon as well. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandpa Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Don't think it's a raccoon; no sagital crest. https://americanheritageindustries.com/216-large_default/raccoon_skull.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4b/30/3b/4b303b147a3cf904969542392ce94f45.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Lover Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I don't think all racoons have a sagittal crest...at least, not according to Google. 1 2 Fin Lover My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs.

Harry Pristis Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 +1 for raccoon. 1 1 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClearLake Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Most definitely a raccoon (Procyon lotor). Sagittal crests can be present on some (probably older males) but most of mine do not have one or it is very reduced. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
