Field Notes

Description:

I found this unknown skull in the woods near my house last summer. I have been unable to identify it. It is missing the front and the mandible sections. The conical crest in the rear top section is unusual. It's about the size of a human skull but clearly isn't one. Would appreciate any help I can get on figuring this out. Maybe it's a partial sasquatch skull?

Habitat:

Woods

Hi paranerdgirl65! Great find! Please consider adding this to the Identifying Animals Through Osteology Mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8475425 At first glance it looks to be horse or cow. Let me look at a few books and compare it to a few skulls I have! I'll give you a better suggestion in a few days!
