I was in Missouri the other day and happened to stop at a rock shop that was selling some Indian artifacts. I was going through their "rock pile" when I found a prehistoric petrified canine skull that had turned to solid stone after who knows how many centuries. It is either a small bear, young wolf or maybe a coyote but it has fossilized and is very heavy for it's size. It could even be some sort of species that went extinct. Very neat. I will give it a good new home! I'll have my buddy Steve O. send some photos later today. Stay tuned.

Lets see those pics! Julie is a skull hoarder. Maybe next time she sees you shell bat her eyelashes at you and you'll just cough it up!

im thinking dinosaur of some sort, since the eye orbit is connected all the way around with an open cavity in front of the eye and the eyes seem to be on the sides of the head......im stumped , but very cool!!

Great find Gene!!!

I would have that to a paleontologist for identification.   Any Universities close by?

Well that's different.......I think you need to get that to an Anthropologist or someone who can tell what the heck it is and how old......even I know it's old....LOL!
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Gene, You should not just give it a new home, but spend some effort to find out what it really is, or who he was.

Gene that is so cool.

It's even cooler than my "Dragon's Heart".

I'd love to hear more about it if you get someone who knows about such things.

God bless,Mudd

I'm no expert, but I did take a few classes on dinosaurs in college. Looks like a dinosaur to me as well. maybe velosoraptor?
A trip to your local museum of natural science would be worthwhile. The people there can tell you what it is. Our professors dug up ancient buffalo bones, the  prehistoric giant buffalo and we took them there to be identified.
Now then, get your weapons, your quiver and your bow and go out into the open country to hunt some wild game for me.- Genesis 27:3
