haven't got a clue :shock:  definitely strange, If I was that guy, I`d take it to the zoo, maybe they could identify it. Very strange looking thing.

Could be the reason it's such a strange looking skull is because it's NOT a skull at all.  :roll:

Trust me, I am not trying to advertise another forum on this site. I just thought the pictures were strange and maybe someone from thissite could identify them! :grin:

Maybe some kind of turkey breast bone?

Bill - you're correct!  That isn't a part of a skull, it is a part of a hip-bone.  Mikey.

Don't any of you have a smoker?

I don't know if it is a turkey but it is the breast bone of a large bird. The other bone is the back bone of a/ or the same large bird.

The breast and back bone of a chicken look the same only smaller.

the top skull is obviously from an adult eastern red tailed chupacabra. the lower one appears to be a skull from a larval bigfoot.

Definately the breast from a large bird. I would have said Eagle or Vulture but Turkey might fit better :roll:
