A priceless find!

The second picture shows the shape of a canine skull but the third and fourth pictures show the lower teeth (molars)  being pointed which would suggest dinosaur , I don't know but would like to find out . Cool find indeed !

Great find! I found a few fossils around here over the years, always such a treat to see.

Here is a velosoraptor,it may be similiar?

Not any dog animal I know of with all those canines , Looks like a gator to me.

God bless, Steve

I agree with with Ron, have a paleontologist look at it. Very impressive. If you hadn't said small would say bear or maybe some kind of wolf.

There are no lower teeth intact nor visible. Those are the roots of the upper teeth that look pointed. I think it's some sort of canine. I will not send it off anywhere. I had an old friend in Montana who found a fossilized human skull years ago. He sent it off somewhere to be aged and never saw it again. They denied ever getting it. I will try to get this checked out by an archeologist but will not send it off anywhere.

Gene, if I'm not mistaken, thats chomper, my first pet!

I will comment a quote from a famous space frontiersman with pointed ears, "fascinating".

Cool find, Gene.

what do you think?

[habujohn]

that is really cool. Kind of looks like a bear but the skull is elongated.

Partially because any human remains in the US that are Pre-Columbian are considered to be Native tribesman regardless. If they ever acknowledge their existence they would have had to turn them over to Indian authorities for burial without being able to exam them ever.

That's neat! I'm interested to find out what it is, Gene.

Definitely mammalian, the skull seems to be a little too flat on the top to be canine, who know how the skull has been compressed deformed with time, but interesting none the less, google some online sources several universities have very good skull materials online, one is in texas one in southern California, can't recall which ones, good luck finding out what it might be.

Absolutely. Take it, let them examine it, but don't let it out of your possession. Or better yet, have someone come to you. Many years ago I received the same advice from an expert that I met for coffee to examine a mastodon tooth I found while duck hunting. Don't tell them where you found it either. Be vague.

This is extremely cool. Sure would be interested to find out for sure what it is.

The teeth are distinctively those of a mammalian carnivore.  Probably a canid, not a bear.  The second photo (top view) looks very much like a wolf skull.
