i.d. this jaw bone
« on: April 11, 2010, 06:16:00 PM »
by my house there is a patch of pines that i walk through every weekend and stump shoot. i call them the whispering pines as they are allways talking. seems like EVERY critter with in a 1/4 mile goes there to die and the souls talk with the trees. anyways, i find a TON of odd bones. i would guess this is a yound skunk or oppossum????

Looks like a juvenile oppossum.  Teeth don't look fully erupted hence juvenile.  Tuf to say for sure from pics, but looks like too many teeth and too many sharp cusps for raccoon.

Bone structure is close to a possum.

Looks to be from a possum because of the narrowness.
