Hello Julia,

Based on your description, we’d guess that you might have a deer skull. However, to be able to tell for sure, we’d have to see a photo. If you’d like to have us take a look, send a .jpg of the skull that also has a size reference in the picture (a pen, ruler, hand, etc.), as well as tell us what geographical location you found the skull in. You can send to our regular email at rwhitman(at)centurytel.net.

We’ll look forward to hearing from you!

Hello, I found a mystery skull similar, if not exact to yours. It’s shape is similar to a dogs or a weasels, but it has a flat head and -get this- hollow bones. There are four semetrical holes group on the top of its head, each is about a millimeter in cicumference. The eye holes are on the side of it’s head and are small for it’s size (about 3 inches) and the ear holes are twice as large and right be hind them. behind the ear holes juts two peices of bone like horns. It has a long snout. I donot have the jaw or teeth. what could it be?

Hello Jay —
Ha! Love it! The true story is a bit more mundane — just came across the remains in the woods. Those teeth truly are, um, rather pointy, aren’t they? And such an innocent, unlikely creature that they belong to. You’d think with teeth like that, its diet would consist of bears and hikers!

Hmmm, could it be that guest that just wouldn’t leave? Never meant to whallop him so darn hard, but to complain about my cooking…

Perhaps a kitty cat? Fox? Sheesh. All I can say is that there skull has got some series teeth going on. Ouch.
