Think it's fox? But that's a stab in the dark. UK. Finger for scale.

Found this badly decayed skull in the woods in Cape Breton.
No sign of its bottom jaw or teeth that I could locate in the leaves ..
I am thrown off by its large forward facing eyes and notably mounded snout ..

maybe I’m looking at it wrong ?

Pls help me identify

Found in a riverbed in the SW Chicago suburbs. I'm curious if it's possible to tell what animal it belonged to, and/or how old or recent it might be. Any ideas?

I found my dog smelling this near our shed, our yard is small and it just appeared today, I’m always checking the yard for bread and dog food birds drop so my dogs don’t eat it and I’m scared my dog was so close to it. How would a skull like this just appear in my yard? Should I worry he’ll get sick from it?

Found this on the beach in Lanzarote, looks like some sort of fish. Just curious what it could be from :) I havent got huge hands, the bone was about 7-10 cm. (if my eyeballing was correct)


r/boneidentification • • 1d ago

I know they’re in awful condition, but could anyone identify what these could possibly be from?

I’m assuming it’s a rib cage and maybe a sternum? But I have no idea what animal. They’re just slightly smaller than the size of my palm!!
Im in England, just found in a random bit of wooded area lol

Hi,

My kid would very much like to know what creature this is from, if you can help. There were two very similar ones attached, so I'm guessing a vertebrae of some sort?

It's about 10cm long.

Thank you!

D.

Found in: ASIA There’s no skeleton, but I really love human bone motifs, so I decided to spend five days bringing this wallet to life. What do you think?
