The dumbest people you could imagine exist, and they’re all selling skulls on eBay. You can’t fool me, babygirl. I have the skulls of most of the mammals that live in the eastern US in a cabinet in my fucking living room.

Ok guys, this is a major crisis, need help, I’ve been trying to label my skulls and forgot what this guy was, looked in my past post and saw that I bought it as a ‘grey mongoose’ at the Oddities convention years ago and took it at face value and forgot that there are African and Indian species with grey in the name. I don’t think it’s African, but I can’t find really good examples of Indian grey (Herpestes edwardsii)! Anyone have any for reference? The teeth of mine are fucked (look grinded down?) so not helpful.

Here he is with a flat headed kusimanse (it IS a mongoose) on the left, similar but the jawline has more of an angle. Maybe slightly sharper snout. I’m thinking it could be a different species of kusimanse?

Here he is with a Javan mongoose, obviously much longer pointed muzzle than the Java who looks more like a mustelid.

I am fairly certain he isn’t a viv, here he is with a cape genet which has longer snout and bigger eye sockets

OMG YOU ALL I FOUND BONES IN THE WOODS BY MY BACKYARD!!!!! i’m so happy!!!!

(just in case- cw for animal bones!)

A photo of two bones on a hardwood floor.ALT

i’m not certain what animal they belong to, but my bets are on a white-tailed deer!!

i cleaned them as best as i could with peroxide and dish soap (rinsing in between), but i’m not certain what else i can do to clean them more. i’d love some advice, please!

(also i just wanted to add that the bone on the right has teeth marks on the other side! i’m guessing a coyote was chewing on it. that little tidbit wasn’t very important, but i thought it was cool anyways ^^)

hi everyone! My boyfriend already posted this on Reddit so if you’re super active in bone id you may have seen it, but does anyone have any idea what this might belong to? I found in on the Tybee island beach in Georgia.

I was given this, and I don’t know what it could be from. Could someone help identify it?

I think it’s half of a skull, and the length is a little longer than my hand. So a little over 20cm but definitely under 30cm.

Can someone help identify this bone ?

It was found in a mudflat during low tide around Bath in the NL if that helps somehow.

ID Help!!

At this point I’m trying everywhere lol

Found this guy at a local trail and I don’t know what it is. Deer and rabbits frequent the area and it used to be a cow and pig farm. I’m thinking part of a skull or leg bone of some kind??
