Great thats what i figured thank you..

From looking at the skull, I'm thinking it's likely a deer. Deer are in Order Artiodactyla, which have no front upper teeth at all. The lower jaw has front teeth, then a gap, then molars top and bottom. Your lower jaw is missing, but based on what is there, I'm pretty sure that's what you've got. :)
